If the money breaks down, then you’re going to get Mandibles / Atlas Shrugged for at least a period of time. And governments aren’t going to lead the way to prosperity, it’ll be co-ops, small service companies, and local productive industries (farming, energy, construction) that will lead emergent local economies that can help rebuild.

I agree it will be decentralized, locally-focus activities but disagree as to the role / importance of government.
