The origins of the excess supply of money can be a monetizationof the deficit of the Government or otherwise.

Government Deficit Monetization
When the government fiscal deficit can be financed with debt,reducing international reserves, or printing money. From thestandpoint of governmental accounting printing money to finance the deficit is a Central Bank loan, ie, an asset of the Central Bank,so the balance is balanced it.

summary of international trade


article about the theories of international trade agreement 
mercantilist theory is about  an economic theory which holds that the prosperity of a state is dependent upon its supply of  capital; that the global volumeof  international trade is "unchangeable;" and that one party may benefit only at the expense of another.
absolute advantage refers to the ability of a party (an individual, or firm, or country) to produce more of a good or service than competitors, using the same amount of resources 
comparative advantage says that two countries (or other kinds of parties, such as individuals or firms) can both gain from trade if, in the absence of trade, they have different relative costs for producing the same goods
