I presume I'm speaking to a person who understands the evidence for each, and that the argument is about how one frames QE.
There are videos, no doubt, if you want to understand why a positive rate of inflation promotes growth, and hence why central banks are legally obligated to "print money" to ensure a 2% target.
The relevant disagreement here, I think, isn't the basic economics. Its under what conditions the "'deliberate' inflation = tax" view is correct. Since it is correct under some conditions.
I'd dispute that it accurately describes the last decade of central bank policy, which on the whole, seems fairly successful at avoiding a post-crash depresson, and a post-pand. depression.... Both seem highly implausible feats done via taxation.
