First, one should keep in mind that money supply grows at some rate over time, though for solving simple economic problems it may be assumed the growth rate is zero, therefore, as a matter of simplicity one may take initial money supply level as given and in equilibrium. The supply of money is assumed to be independent of the interest rate and so in the simple model it is drawn vertically for the diagram with the nominal interest rate on the vertical axis and quantity of money balances displayed on the horisontal axis respectively.
Let me demonstrate some economis reasoning for beginners. You start with an assumption the economy is in equilibrium: basically, supply equals demand (general equilibrium assumes no excess demand across all markets in the economy but the point is not here). If one was a neoclassical economist, a proof based on maths and marginal analysis would be provided to determine supply of money and demand for money in that initial equilibrium. The equilibrium is visualised via drawing a vertical line representing the money supply (MS) and a downward sloping curve/line being the money demand (MD).
Their intersept gives values for the interest rate and quantity of money balances that make MS=MD and equilbrates the economy.
Now one asks what will happen if MS increases. Visually one shifts the MS to the right to demonstrate it and realizes that ceteris paribus (meaning eveything else being constant) money demand is not affected so the equilibrium interest rate represented by the intersection of MD and MS is now lower and quantity of money balances higher. In a simple model like this a decrease in the interest rate would stimulate investment, and investment stimulates economic growth.
So to sum up, a money supply increase reduces the interest rate (ceteris paribus), a reduction in the interest rate leads to an increase in investment, an increase in investment leads to the economic growth. Surely this is far from being the whole story but it puts some light on the problem. Any questions? :)
(EDIT by someone else) Hmm... spoken like a true politician, sir. This is a really simple answer, actually. The fact of the matter is that it doesn't stimulate economic growth, it's only supposed to keep total bankruptcy away for a limited time. Well, that's what it is supposed to be used for, anyway.

Increasing the money supply involves which type of economic policy?
An economic policy of enhancing growth, especially in exports will increase the money supply. This can be measured from recent economic history.

How can one effectively devaluate money in a controlled manner to stimulate economic growth and exports?
To effectively devalue money in a controlled manner to stimulate economic growth and exports, a country can adjust its exchange rate by allowing its currency to weaken relative to other currencies. This can make exports cheaper for foreign buyers, boosting demand and increasing competitiveness in the global market. Additionally, the government can implement monetary policies such as lowering interest rates or increasing money supply to encourage spending and investment, further stimulating economic growth.
How does supply-side economics differ from Keynesian economics?
Supply-side economics focuses on boosting economic growth by increasing the supply of goods and services, primarily through tax cuts and deregulation to incentivize production and investment. In contrast, Keynesian economics emphasizes the importance of aggregate demand in driving economic growth, advocating for government intervention and spending to stimulate demand during economic downturns. While supply-side theory prioritizes producers and supply chains, Keynesian economics prioritizes consumers and overall demand in the economy.

How can policymakers effectively address the challenges posed by a deflationary recession to stimulate economic growth and prevent prolonged periods of declining prices and economic activity?
Policymakers can address deflationary recessions by implementing expansionary monetary and fiscal policies.
