Editorial Illustration: Inflation is a tax for the middle class

The article : Inflation, Bankruptcies and Fears of Decline
Germany on the Brink. An article about a middle class family struggles, while German economy is going into recession.

The prevailing world order is disintegrating, the age of globalization is coming to an end, and the German model of prosperity in particular is under massive threat as a result. The consequence is that there will be less to redistribute in the future.

Is this the beginning of a decade of redistribution that will primarily burden the upper middle class, a group that benefited the most when times were good? Or will people have to get used to the fact that the state can no longer relieve them of every burden?

Review:

Sketch1: I like the idea of people divided into the 3 major categories of social classes, it can be seen that the middle one goes in a downward direction, maybe the idea at the end should be emphasized more.
Sketch2: It conveys the message that in inflation you have nothing to do with the money saved, but also that the sale of works of art increases. However, it does not represent the idea of the article so well and it is possible that the idea has already been used several times.
