>>509622727 (OP)Inflation is coin clipping. Banks steal the value of your savings by loaning money they never had, and then collecting on the debt. This creates new money for them, and makes all existing money slightly less valuable.
*IF* the process of creating new money resulted in creating new products to buy, it would be an expansion of the economy, and your savings' value would be unaffected. But this is mostly a service economy where nothing tangible is manufactured, so there aren't more things to buy, but more money exists to buy the same limited number of things.
People who save their money get ripped off year after year. John Maynard Keynes proposed this system of coin clipping.
