Isn't that always the case with currency devaluation?

Austrian economists would say "of course". Keynesians think it can be good (for various reasons that I'm dubious of).

Well, it's a good way to clear a massive wall of debt that was built up through government intervention. So if you're already within that framework it can make sense in limited scenario's. The concept of a debt "jubilee" is very good for societies. Slow and stead inflation is simply a gradual jubilee over time.
