Answer: it is true.

Explanation:

Let's suppose that inflation is 20%, If someone buys a motorcycle for $1000 and wants to sell the motorcycle to have his original money, that person will have to sell it in $1,200. Otherwise, that person will be receiving less money and giving extra money to the new purchaser thus redistributing income.
