When people demand products and services they borrow, which creates money. In exchange they promise to pay which also means they promise to work in the future.

Persistent inflation generally happens when an economy runs out of people. Higher interest rates basically tell people to buy less or work more. The balancing act isn't between money and products but rather between the supply and demand for labor.
