".I argued that the only practical way to shorten the coming period of painful deleveraging and slow growth would be a sustained burst of moderate inflation, say, four to six per cent for several years."

[WS:] Pardon my naivete, but how exactly is inflation going to accomplish the transfer from creditors to debtor in the era of adjustable interest rates? If the inflation goes up, so will interest rates, so the creditors will get their inflation adjusted money anyway, no?
