The purpose behind allowing crash conditions to accelerate is twofold. First, as asset prices collapse, the banking establishment can snatch them up for pennies on the dollar – and this includes property, businesses, mortgages, and numerous other tangibles. This is exactly what banks did during the Great Depression as they devoured the property and mortgage markets and erased thousands of small banks, focusing all finance into the hands of a select few institutions.

Second, crash events allow the elites to exploit public desperation and influence the masses to accept even more centralization of power. Economic disaster is a means to an end. The banks aren’t hurt by it; in fact, they benefit from it.
