That is actually.. a very intriguing ( yet horrifying ) question. Were there any studies of inflationary pressures pre, during, and after a war? My gut tells me it depends on the scale of destruction ( WW2 comes to mind ), but I don't remember reading anything on that subject.


Hm. I'm not aware of anything specifically about inflation, but IMHO it would be very hard to compare due to the plethora of variables - e.g. rationing, destruction, death, all of which would be deflationary.
