Economic instability is generally better for the people who can weather the storm, i.e. those with resources to spare, because (as you say) they can buy assets on the cheap when the less fortunate run out of cash to survive on and have to liquidate.
It's long periods of stability that seem to let the lower classes build up a little. Yet another reason why war and strife is of benefit to the rich.
