Islam forbids this kind of profiteering off food and stuff. I am an atheist, but the fact that stuff like this is mentioned in very old religions is telling for how far back this bullshit goes.
I believe it is mentioned under the concept of suht (if im not wrong), another thing that is atrocious in our time are taxes are based on income ie the working class has to pay. Where as, islam preaches wealth tax (in form of zakat) which would work as a good barriers against billionaires. Literally no one needs a billion dollars but somhow it is the norm that billionaires exists and pay little to no taxes but everyone else who do work have to pay ~20-40% in taxes
I can’t remember when or where I read this so please take it with a grain of salt; but most food shortages are caused by market speculation
