That's how it was handled in some of Heinlein's stories. The government calculated the value of new goods and services that had become available, then issue that amount of new money as direct payments to the people. Done correctly (yeah, right), that wouldn't be inflationary at all (although it seems like you'd also need some mechanism to claw the money back if the economy shrank).
