Will another Renaissance 'look' like the former? The historical essence of the Renaissance is quite different from its shiny surface. It was a soft rebellion against the church, with Protestantism going harder. It would have been seen as a blasphemy of secularity unless the authority was weakened.

I hope this discussion can reach beyond capitalism, the status quo. The Renaissance was such a progressive social movement at the time, not just the creative individuals or the money. I think what Elle meant by 'fund' is more than "making a living doing what you want to do while the capitalists allow you."
