Let's not pretend you are an oil rich country in the Middle East. In fact you are a cartel of Middle Eastern countries. You raise the price of oil and make a bundle of money. You raise it so high that you break the economy of a country buying your oil.
Then you take all the money you've loaded up on and buy the businesses and homes of the people being foreclosed on. Not a theory. It's a fact.
