Well, he's wrong, given that output has been knocked about by a large number of non-monetary factors such as COVID, supply chain issues, the war with Russia, and (yet again) oil and gas.

The way I see it, even if there’s a war or Covid or whatever, if people don’t have more money to spend, they can’t pay higher prices. Then you get a recession.

If they do have the money (because you printed more) they pay the higher prices. Then you get inflation.
