What are all the ways that monetary debasement consciously or unconsciously impacts human behavior?

Buying shit we don't need.

Companies can't survive without generating reoccuring revenue.

"Investing" in anything that might hold value better than money.

...what are some others?

I really need to compile a long list of things related to the negative effects of inflation with as clear & simple of a causal link or explanation for each thing as possible. Like when money doesn't hold it's value (whether people realize it or not) people see that certain kinds of goods appreciate, often rather wildly at times, & they are driven to gamble on those things.

Makes housing more expensive as houses become places to store wealth. Real estate gets a monetary premium over their actual value as a place to live or run a business.

This disadvantages lower income people disproportionately.
