We're seeing right now how what parts are actually "essential"; arguably, the rest is only necessary for growth. If growth stops being the goal, the the economy as it was doesn't have to continue. We're already seeing some rumblings of a stark dichotomy, what with some people advocating for a return to work and acceptance of the risk, contrasting with the backlash that their dollar is not more important than someone's life. In a Japanese subway, someone wrote: “We can't return to normal, because the normal that we had was precisely the problem.” It doesn't entirely matter if they're right or wrong objectively; if enough people subscribe to this view, it becomes what we live through.
