It’s more about debt than market prices. You can always shift to accommodate inflation by raising prices or shrinking your product as necessary to maintain your margin. Debt is different because it’s an obligation you don’t control.

The more debt you carry the more leveraged you become, which is exposure to risk. Another way to think of that is brittleness, which is subject to breaking. Investments are forms of debt, money locked into a financial vehicle.
