| BEST DEFENSE (IN ORDER OF POWER) | ACTIONABLE DEFENSE |
| A business | Raising prices. |
| Rental property | Raising rents. |
| A specialized skill | Raising your return on labor rental |
| Real estate | None, but creates a long-term preservation of buying power |
| Personal influence | Increase that rates at which you exert influence (A YouTube channel with 1 million subscribers can help you beat inflation!) |
| A sales job | Sell more at higher prices through indirect association of the patriarch business |
| Hard assets and commodities | Buy gold, silver, gas, hard assets. |
| Commodity investments | Buy commodity assets on an exchange, like DBC, futures, etc. |
| Stockpiling supplies | Buy life's necessities and store for later user |
| A money system | Increase return on cash via raising interest rates. |
| A part time job | Increase return on your time through higher labor costs |
| WORST DEFENSE | ACTIONABLE DEFENSE |
