The closest model to what you're describing is Feudalism, and I don't mean say this in a dismissive way. I too believe that notions of Houses might spring up again. In one House comprising of about 50 people, only 5 would do the work which generates wealth, and puts food on the table. The others would do art and other such non-wealth producing activities. The incentive of the wealth-producers is to be able to claim that their House invented this or that artwork, etc.
