What was common of economic situations that allowed totalitarian to rise to power?

Totalitarian regimes often emerged in times of economic turmoil, such as severe inflation, unemployment, and widespread poverty. These crises created social unrest and disillusionment with existing governments, making populations more susceptible to radical ideologies. Leaders capitalized on this discontent by promising stability, national rejuvenation, and economic recovery, often through authoritarian means. The resulting centralized control allowed them to suppress dissent and consolidate power.
