Explain quantitative easing in the UK in the last 7 years then? Over £350 billion 'injected' into the economy, inflation stayed flat.

Printing money causes inflation.
Only if the amount printed exceeds the economy's capacity to meet the demand generated by more money. Where this has happened over the past 30 years is in the housing market - banks have 'printed money' in the form of mortgage lending (they don't actually lend against deposits). The result has been the rampant inflation of house prices.

Not actually true. Printing money causes inflation.
When something goes up something else goes down.
