Yeah, them inflation adjusted prices are very misleading (as general inflation stats usually are, but over such time periods it's basically irrelevant info & doesn't represent anything ... not to mention regular consumers weren't involved at all, and prices weren't 'market' to begin with).

Also you can't really say "purchase" if a war or at least a war threat was involved.
