How does poverty cycle back to liberalism? Empirically and historically it does the opposite.
Institutions are much easier to destroy than to build, and some institutions can only be built on a sufficiently solid foundation. Let's hope your cycle hypothesis is wrong.
But there's a different pseudo-saying out there that works on a generation level which has been feeling more and more relevant lately. It's the one that goes:
Hard times create hard people,
hard people create good times.
Good times create weak people,
weak people create hard times.
