which is highly dangerous to the general stability of society.
When economic policy results in massive finanicial instability for the common worker (thanks to hyperinflation and insane asset prices) it creates a power vacuum which can be filled by those promising to fix the problem quickly and swiftly.

Yes. But hyperinflation and insane asset prices aren't required. You simply need a highly dissatisfied and highly motivated "fringe group" to set off a chain reaction. We're flirting with that now. The next POTUS election is the one to watch. 2020 was overrated in terms of significance. The next vacuum filler(s) will have intent and focus. They've seen what's possible without out really trying. The market hasn't improved; the "competition" remains blind and/or in denial. There's still plenty of opportunity.
