There's one crucial link missing in your assessment: economies are in shambles mostly because of that infinitesimal fraction of humanity's efforts to hoard the wealth.
And note that I said wealth, not money: those are two completely separate things. Many of those billionaires have a lot more dollars than actual wealth.
Dollars only represent wealth insofar as they can be used for exploitation.
