no arguments there... "keep the dollar hungry" is pristine, reads like
some famous quotation https://duckduckgo.com/?q=keep+the+dollar+hungry
but google, bing, etc. also yielded no match... seems you've coined it!
(in the classic sense that axiomatic phrases don't require attribution)

"love-hate relationship" (with the dollar) describes this principle in
biblical terms, but "keep the dollar hungry" sounds more like marching
orders, similar to "vote with your feet", and my favorite 1960s bumper
sticker "what if they gave a war and nobody came" (the almighty dollar)
