Since much of our economy is dependent on consumerism and hyper-mobility (and people's jobs and income depend on it) it will be hard to curb the tendency to bounce back to the way things were before. There will be a desire to get the economy back on its feet in the quickest way possible.
I'd like to think that it is dawning on everyone that we don't have to live in that way, and that a 'simpler' lifestyle is actually much better (even if we have less stuff, go out less often etc).
