Euros discarded as impoverished Greeks resort to bartering

[ObongoPox]

Very much agree that mainstream society has such a narrow vocational skill-set(check-out operator,traffic-warden,assembly line worker)and that few,if any,of these mass-production skills will be applicable following a radical(post-apocalyptic as opposed to merely economic)collapse.I'm not saying the homeless would necessarily fare any better in a material sense of organised,methodical prepping and survivalism as seen on some online video.When the lights go off and the central-heating stops working then suddenly it's the homeless,ex mental patient who has,at least,the psychological ability to deal with endless cold,dark,loneliness.Confronted by grinding discomfort,solitude,lack of electric light and other modern amenities the tables are suddenly turned though the dictum.It's still natural selection,except that different traits are being selected for than those that currently favour satellite dish installers.That book sounds interesting btw...
