Future of distressed debt/special situations investing?

Curious what people's industry outlook is for the long term on these types of debt and credit funds and the industry as a whole. Obviously, covid has affected the short term, but does that spill over the long term (5-10 years), or are there other factors to consider? Curious if anyone has any updated articles or books about this

Massive infrastructure spending, continued low interest rates, maintenance of consumer confidence (part of controlling inflation is widespread belief that inflation can't/won't happen), continued cash transfers to the American people, pent up growth etc.

The place where it really gets me is people who argue that there hasn't been insane, absurd, ridiculously insane inflation over the last 12 years. There is, just not in consumer prices. We of all people should see it! Asset price inflation - bonkers!

 

A lot of dollars have flowed into flexible mandates that include distressed. It seems like there's too much money to be put to work in the space (few actual opportunities to deploy capital). If you look at recent BK auctions, the discounts have been minimal.
