Stories of collapse resonate with large and small endings, failures, and losses. These stories hold capacity to give voice and agency to those who are marginalised or oppressed. For example, in an insurantial collapse this distributed agency partly exists because insurance is inherently solidaristic. It takes a pool—a group of people with shared risks—to make insurance what it is. In this chapter, I take a close look at what it means to be in collapse, focusing on how this sense of pooled collectivity connects formal insurance with broader networks of care and solidarity. I then consider what is in collapse, describing a world ending global apocalypse as constituted through a series of collapses unevenly distributed through time and space. To illustrate this reframing of Doreen Massey’s ‘global sense of the local, a global sense of place’, I use an analogy from the transatlantic slave trade—a trade enabled by insurance and constituted through myriad collapses. I finish by positing the novel concept of solidaristic salvaging. In collapse, solidarity is a collective salvage operation within the wreckage of worlds ending, picking up and through the pieces of broken networks and tenuous relations including those of formal insurance.
