The end of Rhodesia did tank agriculture and create 1000x inflation.

The end of Rhodesia did tank agriculture and create 1000x inflation.

Mugabe tanked agriculture and created inflation. That's not the same as 'the end of Rhodesia' causing that, especially considering such hyperinflation and agricultural ruin didn't occur for another ~20 years.

Doesn't this happen whenever colonizers lose power and back out of a country with as much of the country's assets as possible?

And also Mugabe as mentioned by PugJesus.
