Quote from Ayn Rand,

Inflation is not caused by the actions of private citizens, but by the government: by an artificial expansion of the money supply required
to support deficit spending. No private embezzlers or bank robbers in history have ever plundered people’s savings on a scale comparable to the
plunder perpetrated by the fiscal policies of statist governments.
