@LostInParadise That isn’t quite how it works.
MV=PQ Money supply times the velocity of money equals the price of goods times the quantity of goods. If one increases the money supply without changing the velocity of money nor the quantity of goods produced, prices will rise.
But encouraging a faster velocity of money is often done to increase productivity, such as was done last summer coming out of the COVID retraction. By making sure people had enough cash on hand to recirculate it quickly, the economy snapped back pretty quickly.
@RedDeerGuy1‘s pondering makes no sense, though, because having equal amounts of currency for every country would disrupt exchange rates. Uruguay does not need the same amount of currency as the United States. Neither does Canada.
