The truth is exactly the reverse -- inflation is a persistent change in prices whatever the cause, and inflation can happen without money supply playing a role at all. The soaring price of a Harvard education is not determined primarily by money supply -- it is determined by social scarcity and the existence of wealthy people willing to bid the price up.

You do nothing more than take a narrow ideological perspective and then pretend nothing else is real when you restrict consideration of persistent changes in prices to only those changes with a single cause. Reality is far more complex than this simplistic way of looking at it. Money mediates supply and demand. To ignore supply and demand and focus solely on money is to be blind.
