So what happens if global economics / capitalism fails?

vamos [Edit] [Delete] 01:01, 6 July '12

Thought I'd leave that for you lot to solve whilst I'm at Bloc.

But is there any precedence for this? Given that several currencies are on the brink and spending their children's taxes before they're even paying them, there's a pretty good chance this decade won't end well.

Will people just get to keep the property they're in and the government will press a reset button? Will people riot and just take what they want? Will money become worthless and things we take for granted like vegetable patches become things people trade with / fight for?

Sounds a bit like a half baked idea for a BBC Two drama all this. But yeah... Just curious if there has ever been a situation like this before?
