Inflation is simultaneously the worst for society as a whole, and yet the easiest for individuals to deal with successfully. The strategies for dealing with inflation are pretty straightforward.

In theory, inflation shouldn't matter at all, as long as it is predictable. If you know that inflation is going to be 10% next year, you demand a 10% raise (and your boss gives it to you, because he knows that 10% inflation means that the raise doesn't cost him anything). Everybody else does the same and prices, wages, interest rates, stock market returns, etc. are all 10% higher, even though in real terms everyone is standing still.

In practice, of course, it isn't so simple:

Just because you demand a raise that matches inflation doesn't mean you'll get it.
When inflation is bad, prices go up every month (maybe every week), but wages and salaries generally only go up once a year. People are always feeling like they're playing catch up.
Inflation is never really predictable. Everybody has their own guess about what inflation will be, and most of them will be wrong. Whether your estimate is high or low, you'll have problems to the extent that you're wrong. Even if you're wrong in a good way, such as having negotiated a 10% raise when inflation turned out to only be 8%, you're still in trouble (maybe your company has to lay you off).
Taxes are imposed on nominal returns, so you can find yourself in the perverse situation of losing money in real terms, and yet still paying taxes on supposed profits.
For individuals, the strategies for dealing with inflation are:

1-Be careful about holding cash. This is a big change for people who have come of age since 1981 or so--since then, holding cash has been a perfectly reasonable thing to do. People whose saving and investing experience includes the 1970s, though, remember having a bank account that was earning 5% interest rates that was nevertheless worth 5% less at the end of the year.
2-Don't make long-term, fixed rate loans. Until the inflationary period is over, don't buy bonds. High inflation rates completely destroy the value of long-term bonds. The flip side of this is that borrowing money on a long-term, fixed rate basis (such as a mortgage) can make good sense, if you can get good rate. There are a lot of people who bought a house with a 30-year mortgage at a fixed 6% or 7% and held as rates went up to 14% or higher. They made out like bandits.
3-Invest in "stuff" rather than in money. This can be gold (although I'd hesitate to establish a position at these prices). Even better is stuff that you're going to use anyway. If you're going to use it anyway, and you can get it at a good price now, it makes a great deal of sense to buy stuff now, rather than save cash and then buy it later.
4-Invest for long-term capital gains. Inflation tends to produce illusory profits: you look like you're making a profit even when you're just keeping up with (or even failing to keep up with) inflation--and you have to pay taxes on those profits. This makes investing for income (where a large fraction of the income is really just keeping you even with inflation) a bad deal. It also makes short-term capital gains a bad deal for much the same reason--you have a big (taxable) gain, even if in reality you're just breaking even. Investing for long-term capital gains helps with these issues.
5-Use barter and the informal economy. If your neighbor hires you to help him create a website and you hire him to help you cut down a diseased tree next to your driveway, you both owe income taxes on whatever you're paid. If you instead swap these services informally, you still owe the taxes, but you're expected to declare the income at its fair market value. It's perfectly reasonable, though, to declare the income at what the service would have been worth the previous year.
