That the current round of world wide inflation (mostly significantly higher than our) is due largely to Covid is undeniable, with the second leading factor being disruption of the energy (the oil glut on the market at the time drained and controlled production afterward by oil companies to take business advantage). With the spectrum of left/right leaning countries that mostly all seemed to take a similar covid response, i.e. varying periods of quarantine at home to slow the spread and the accompanying disruption of production cycles and logistics adding to costs, while passing out money to make sure their populations did not go hungry or more homeless, it is hard to blame leftism/rightism. You can blame the best guesses of scientific/medical thinking and theory, but really pointless at this point. It would be nice to have the oil companies pushing larger amounts of energy on to world markets, but can't really blame them for sound business production management practice, favoring their stockholders and owners.
