Somewhat. Although, there's no guarantee of it. We have to remember that assets generally depreciate in value because they get dings, scratches or just degrade with time. So, selling a second hand asset is usually more difficult than selling a new. Obviously, this sort of ignores collectors items, but cars for example are generally considered to have already lost a few k on their price as soon as you drive them off the forecourt.

However, as long as your loanee pays back the amounts required, lenders will always gain. That's sort of the broken system we live in, where normal people require to lend off the rich, and as a result the average person loses in the long run, while the rich get richer. That's basically how the system is designed, and as worked for as long as we've all been alive.

Inflation isn't really a bad thing for the rich, they'll profit enormously on it.
