Economists have long recognized that financing deficits through
debt-monetization leads to hyperinflation and financing deficits by
borrowing leads to an onerous public debt. Argentina's government ran up a
huge foreign debt, much of it denominated in dollars no less, as a means of
financing its fiscal pump-priming and destroyed its economy as a result.
This knowledge is probably as old as economics itself.
