Yep.
All false gods/temples must and will fall before Creator's return.
Of course there will be a worldwide economic collapse. Those who seek to destroy freedom/life/Creator have long used money as one of the primary means of control. They are realizing that all manner of diversions ("terrorists", kidnapped kids, wildfires, etc) are NOT working, the masses are starting to smell something rotten in Denmark and are about to do something about it.
How better to beat the masses down spiritually and physically to control them than by snatching the rug out from under them and giving them nothing to think about other than utter economic squalor?
"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves, whether they are to have any property they can call their own, whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed and themselves confined to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington
