What I figure is the printed money is given to people to buy things. It’s given to him who saved/inherited his money and could’ve bought that thing anyways, and to him who didn’t save/inherit his money and couldn’t. The seller of that thing now has two people competing for it so he can mark up the price further. He makes profit because he owns the capital, the non-saver or non inheritor, gets a good he couldn’t otherwise afford, and the saver is stuck paying a higher price. That saver/inheritor who doesn’t own assets but only has his labor to sell, or his inheritance to spend, is effectively having some of his money taken from him and given to the non-saver and the rich man with capital.
