No, not primarily. Having money now is simply more valuable than having the same amount of money in the future, even absent any inflation. If you have the money now, that means you have the ability to use it now. Being able to use money is better than being unable to use money. Hence, even without inflation, people would have to pay interest on borrowed money. But what about the $15m/year you can't use for the 7 years following the end of the contract? What's the negative impact of that?
