Answer: Property.

Inflation didn’t just change prices – it changed investing. As governments gained greater freedom to create money, inflation made mortgages easier to repay in real terms, helping fuel decades of strong property returns. It’s a reminder that when the monetary system changes, so do the biggest investment winners.
