This is completely wrong, it disproportionally affects the poor and middle class the most because all they have is their wages and a little bit of cash. Wages are not that elastic and will certainly lag behind.
Rich are heavy on assets and it doesn't affect them at all unless they are stupid enough to convert those assets to cash during high inflation period (it of course doesn't happen).
I agree. I'm not ashamed to admit though, I'm still a little baffled by Buffet's backing off into "cash" - or out of the market - I guess cash means different things to different people...
