I expect a massive collapse renaissance where the people embrace the arts (music/art/craft) to maintain their sanity without materialism.

    I think this ties in with John Robb’s Resilient Communities as well:

    If the nationstate collapses, and the economy is forced to stick closer to home, we’re all going to have to be craftsmen, in one way or another.
