I don't think most people fully think out the fantasy of a post-multinational corporate future. Sure, it'll mean more local control of resources, but also local protection of them from a world that's suddenly been broken up into not one or two large entities, but a myriad of them, with fewer scruples and nothing like international law curbing their methods.

I imagine that a collapse of the world economy would merely be replaced, after a period of chaos, with a neo-feudalist system of city states and independent enclaves. Some few may succeed in being utopia-lite agrarian hippy villages, but most will probably involve a bitter taste of old fashioned servitude to some lunatic with a private army.
