It's def reducible to "it's a dog eat dog world and I will not be eaten" which is easily hijacked with the promise of becoming the meanest dog. Their existential fear and insecurity is an invisible river and this project of violence is the "invisible bridge" they've been sold to cross it.

Leon siding with the crooked Elites and their Arbiter, shameful! The Grunts and Jackals are joining the beautiful Brutes, who do not need a shave, and together we're going to fire those Rings and make the galaxy great again

Not specific to hyperinflation but I bet you'd get a lot out of Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea by Mark Blyth. He's a prof at Brown of political economics and really even handed and entertaining.

48 hours of anger, a month of disgust, then your lungs realize the abuse is over and you'll cough out junk you didn't know they wanted to throw. Good luck
