Economic collapse as lateral damage.
There’s an old sci fi story, I probably read it in the 70s, in which archaeologists figure out that a lost civilization on another planet died out because of a financial crisis. Wish I could remember the title or author, but all I remember is the archaeologist saying, “They went bankrupt!”
A bit of searching suggests this might be Total Eclipse by John Brunner.
The concept sounds interesting, I might give it a read.
