I think assuming that their intentions are a well functioning economy have been disproven by the rapid pace of kicking pillars out from under it. Occams razor would instead suggest that either a recession or some other form of social instability is not an externality but an objective. It makes me scared for what the ultimate aim is, but I think at this point it's beyond giving him the benefit of the doubt.
