    No it’s just more complicated than just print more.

    Effectively the monetary supply is limited by the productive capacity/economic output of the country. If the nation or system doesn’t have enough output to cover new currency, it causes inflation as effectly 2 dollars are being used to represent the value of 1 dollar of work.
