I don't see the problem. As long as there is 2% inflation that wealth needs to be put to work in a way that ends up employing someone, therefore the employee benefits from the existence of the wealth that someone else carried hundreds of years into the future.

What exactly do you mean by this? Holding wealth in bars of gold doesnt need to employee anyone (if you have enough of them, you might want security personnel, but you could also just own a Gold ETF or something).
