Actually when times are good people become complacent. It's when people are moping around with nothing to do that interesting things start to happen. This is particularly true in the arts. Look at TV and music - it's been the same contrived drivel for years. If a lot of people are without work for a year or two, eventually you'll start to see interesting things happen. That will capture imaginations and reignite compulsive spending habits. You don't need to buy test-tubes, lease office space or go door-to-door to write software. If you're a programmer and find yourself out of work, get a comfortable chair and code up something useful. But pick something specific and practical. If you're recognised as being really good at one thing, then you can just sit back and people will come to you.
