If I understand your question correctly, when dealing with inflation, a dollar earned today is worth more than a dollar earned at any time in the future. This has to do with the concept of the present value of money. Because inflation devalues the dollar over time, a dollar earned today is worth more than say, a dollar earned five years from now.

What is the relationship between the discount rate and inflation rate in financial analysis?

This adjustment helps ensure that future cash flows are properly valued in present terms.

What is inflation and how bad was it during the civil war?
Inflation is a rise in prices and a depreciation of the currency. The Confederate dollar was not based on assets, but only on the promise of future victory. Owing to the Union Naval blockade, the South could not import or export, and its economy stagnated. Demand for basic commodities rocketed, causing steady inflation. By 1864, the Confederate dollar was only worth about 5 cents.
A dollar paid to you tomorrow is worth more than a dollar paid to you today if the interest rate is high rather than low?
the concept is the "the present value of future dollars vs the future value of present dollars" A dollar in hand has the potential to make money, how much money it can make is it's future value. The real intrigue with this is the concept of compound interest. today I invest my present DOLLAR, Lets say it makes 10 cents now I have $1.10 to invest and if I get the same rate of return I will make .11 cents and have $1.21 to invest. At a constant rate of 10% return I would double my money in about 8 years & 2 months. HOWEVER in year #12 I would have tripled my original DOLLAR and in year #15 my single Dollar would be worth over 4 dollars... So lets turn that around: if someone says to you LOAN me a (present) DOLLAR and I will pay you $2 (Future) in 10 years, that doesn't seem like as much of a good deal plus if you add in inflation and RISK, the $2 they pay you back with may not buy as much and that would make it an even worse deal.
