I think CableMonster might be in the neoclassical economics camp, which insists that “inflation” is definitionally “money creation,” that they’re essentially synonyms. They refuse to entertain any other possible explanations for a rise in prices, and that’s why price gouging can’t be a component of inflation and therefore must be a boogeyman.
