To be honest I don't know how you would unwind the system. For instance the Hollywood industry employees a ton of people and likely pays a lot of taxes to the California government. If everyone stopped going to movies and basically boycotting the celebrities that would have a lot of second and third order effects. Same with the banking industry and the government/ military industry complex.

It is kind of like the concept of minimalism. It would only work if a small minority of people adopted it. If everyone adopted it the economy would collapse.
