I'd say this is nothing like your book ban example, since 1) there is a huge increase in inflation recently, and this is a significant change and 2) books are not a commodity, they all have unique topics and aren't interchangeable. Whereas 10% of inflation is the same whether it is this year, or 100 years ago.
