If something can't continue, something else will continue, as life goes on.
..extreme (and stupid) maneuvers will be used until the cliff is reached, then there will be a fall over the cliff, and then, since the "actor" in this scenario cannot die but can only get more and more angry, weird events and most of "normal life" will carry on.
The masses will "be annoyed and get angrier" and the "investors" (those who are owed money that is never gonna come to them) will take a haircut, rearrange their finances, and "normal life" will carry on.
All even-moderately-sensible societies have a way to handle "bankruptcy and sanctuary" type situations.
When an asymptotic "climb" towards unbearable conditions happens, some "phase change" occurs that relieves the pressure, and a "new normal" regime starts.
But how different, really, can this "new normal" be from the "old normal" if it's acceptable AS any kind of normal?
It is simple self-preservation of a society (even if it's a macro-society such as "western eurasian society") to have a relief valve for unbearable pressure, as is necessary post-war or post-catastrophe.
Life goes on. You can't stop it. The theoretical things, like wealth and "freedom" may transform but life goes on, and hope endures.
Pandora's last gift will out, always.
