This is probably a dumb question, and I understand how inflation workes, but why does printing money not work? I could see how it wouldnt work over a long period of time, but it seems to me that if money were slowly added in the economy then people would just assume that they are getting more money, not that tehre is more money out there and its less useless. Sometimes it seems like we have total control over the economy that the government doesn't utilize.
Because if money is really easy to get, then it really isn't worth anything. At least in my most basic understanding of things.

However, if our currency was diamonds, or gold, or other rare items that have an inherit value...Well, you would probably be willing to build a house for just a few diamonds.
Money is the same way. Printing it just turns it into rocks, lowering the value till it's worthless. Look at Germany before WW2 - they printed so much money, people used it to burn for heat. Or look at Zimbabwe today. They are so inflated that they are continually creating new dollar amounts - such as a billion dollar bill. I forget the exact figures, but a loaf of bread was something like $6,000,000 dollars. People literally have millions of dollars, but it is all worthless.
