Preventing economic inflation is easy

High rates of inflation are caused by the government’s increasing the money supply too rapidly. A growing economy always has a growing demand for money because with more stuff to buy, you need more money with which to buy it. To keep the overall level of prices constant, increase the money supply at the same rate that demand is increasing. If the supply of money increases faster than the demand, the value of money falls, creating an inflation. I recently encountered this idea again in this populist book: https://www.dummies.com/book/business-careers-money/business/economics/economics-for-dummies-3rd-edition-282166/
