I can't tell if this is a serious question or not considering the past few years of disease and war.

I can't tell if this is a serious question or not considering the past few years of disease and war.
- Dig1t 3y agoLegitimate question, I’m not very economically literate. We went through wars in the past without crazy inflation, gulf war, Iraq, Afghanistan. Is it because of all the Ukraine aid we’re sending? If so, why is this different than other conflicts? How does disease cause inflation?
- stu2010 3y agoDisease, disaster, war all cause significant inflation because they harm or destroy both things and productivity in the real world without destroying money. If factories shut down and supply chains are disrupted and we only make half as many cars this year, how much would people be willing to pay for those cars? Much more.
