My hypothesis is that people without significant real assets are all worse off since the money supply has been debased. Peter Thiel's book talks about "secrets" that are not really hidden but overlooked .. if he were to interview me and ask what I thought was an apparent secret, I'd say it was this. I'm not even sure what one can do if one accepts this .. borrow money and hoard real assets? If you don't have money to begin with, how do you get the loans? So yeah .. defn worse off.
