I can't see anything wrong w this far-sighted analysis. After WW2 was fantastic for growth - a lot of competitive male pressure was gone to war deaths, society had been "hardened" by the comparative difficulty, and no infrastructure in NA was damaged. If we're in the same financial situation now, we're megafucked - the cleansing fire didn't actually happen, and pressure is gonna keep rising. Did the start of the great depression look anything like this? I heard a theory somewhere about 80 year cycles, and it makes intuitive sense that it takes a few generations to go from "fresh start" to "things are great" to "everyone expects things to be even better" to "burn it all down"
