I would say what is different is the presence of Joules coming in from an External donor, it shouldn't be every man for themselves any longer, now it should be to work together to maximse the effect of those added Joules in our economy.
All the downsides we've known by issue of money are reversed, when the source of energy coming in is from an external donor, rather than what we can extract from Earth, so advising folk how to try to retain possesion of their capital isn't the best, it seems to me, though I fully get your instinct, it really is a very different world, even since 2008 that we know we should learn from, all the rules have to change as a result of that fundamental change of energy source.
