On the contrary, inflation closes the "divide" between rich and poor. This is exactly why it is so pernicious, because it shrinks the relative rewards for saving, investing, and producing.

Wrong !
The largest shifts in wealth occur in high inflation environments.
The wealthy benefit from inflation, because they are early receivers of newly created money.
The poor are late or non receivers and inflation hits them right in the pocketbook (rising living costs, wages not keeping up)

That is why wealth inequality is largest in countries that experience frequent inflation episodes.
