Genuine question. How would the mega rich benefit more from the recession than from a stable or high growth environment?

Seems easier to capture a bigger piece of the pie when the pie is growing for everybody no and nobody complains?

Not to mention the social and political unrest which might be triggered by a recession. Recent and old history has shown times and times again that it is when people go hungry or desperate that they challenge the established social order.

Wages lag growth, have a high growth environment for a few years and then cut off the faucet once people start demanding higher wages.

It may not be a conspiracy but that is what's happening.

Two things contribute to why I think that:

History taught me that the rich benefit from piece and from unrest.

Knowing human greed and that it's always greener on the other side.

But as I said, it's just a conspiracy theory that the recession is being manufactured.
