If you crash the economy you put extreme pressure on people with little money that they start selling stuff like land, houses, etc just to survive. Everyone who has enough money to weather the crash can then buy all this stuff for fire sale prices, then the economy generally recovers (D president)
That's pretty straightforward, but the kind of crash they seem to be going for doesn't feel recoverable. Like, since there's basically no middle class now, who recovers, and how do economic classes restructure? Like there's tons of homeless, and who does service jobs?
But if the country is ruined, then what's better about being the richest guy of the hellscape than richest guy of a functioning, relatively pleasant place?
