As to maintaining a banking empire through inflation, I'm not so sure. Many banks have failed by inflating to much and falling to the resulting run on their assets. Obviously, inflation is part of the strategy, but it seems like political protections are also necessary and it's less clear why a select few have gotten those.

They got them because they paid for the protections of the state. They paid in several ways; jobs through the revolving door, donations and outright bribes. They got what they paid for in most cases. It is a nice monopoly!
