Wealth tends to flow uphill. Even in Communism the politically connected realized that wealth in that system was political capital and learned to position themselves to accumulate it. There is a reason the USSR collapsed and gave way to one of the most aristocratic states in the world.

I don’t discount that site though. A lot more happened in or around the early 70s than just the collapse of Bretton Woods.

I also don’t dismiss your comment as untrue. A fair inflationary currency would almost literally drop money from helicopters, not issue it to banks and governments. Still I imagine over time people would learn how to chase the helicopters.

All systems will be gamed. No exceptions.
