I believe there’s actually an example of the reverse of this, in which the massive post-war welfare state of the UK factored largely into its art boom including all those British bands that became globally popular.

We’ve also seen something similar in the US during the COVID-19 lockdown, the furlough of the workforce and the following Great Resignation, in which a lot of people managed to monetize their lockdown hobbies and didn’t have to return to their prior (odious) jobs. (Resulting in a worker shortage, an increase in bottom-rung wages and benefits and the old No one wants to work anymore excuse.)
