lender is being paid back in dollars that are worth less.

assume that you loan someone $100. today, $100 can buy 10 big macs.

inflation causes the price of big macs to double.

now when you get paid back $100, you can only buy 5 big macs.

under this inflationary scenario, the borrower benefited at the expense of the lender.
