Basically the problem is that governments and central banks are following policies that are generally used to stave off inflation. If you have massive inflation what you should invest into is domestic production capacity. Excess production causes prices to fall.

If you want to reliably drive inflation then you must do the opposite. Put dollars into people's hands. Consumer demand must outpace domestic production capacity. Most cases of (hyper)inflation are basically episodes of excessive government spending without the necessary investment in production capacity to back that spending up.
