Slow down the process. Change things slowly, iteratively. Not all at once.
In the last year Tier 2 Battlecruisers have gone from 26 million to 47 million, Battleships are up to at Tier 1, 45mil > 85mil, Tier 2, 75mil > 135mil and Tier 3, 110 > 210mil. Across the board prices are still rising and while that is fine for power players that leaves casuals and people without 3 accounts playing a much more difficult game of second job online then was previously coined for EVE.
The economy will recover on its own. If mineral prices skyrocket all that will mean is that players who do combat pvp or mission running will flock to the mining profession in their veldspar-mining cruisers and battleships to help the career miners meet the demand for minerals. Once prices settle, the pvp/pve players will continue on their merry way.
This is not an assumption or made up fact. This is based on Adam Smith's principles on modern economics in which he came up with the idea of the "Invisible Hand" theory stating that the self interests of buyers and sellers in a free market economy will stabilize the economy over time. Think of it as an economic form of "homeostasis" in which things always balances out eventually.
Besides, it's not like anyone is stuck doing one profession just because they trained their characters for it. I am strictly a mining person and I occassionally dip into manufacturing, pvp, pve, and even null-sec roaming. Eve Online allows players to be that flexible after all.

As far as appreciating smaller/cheaper ships again thats only going to happen if they're actually any good. Right now the majority don't fly cruisers and frigs because they're rubbish, not because they're so massively wealthy that they can afford to burn isk all the time. Ship diversity is going to rely exclusively on CCP getting the tiericide ship rebalancing right because otherwise pvp will simply be everyone flying around in the defacto OP cruiser or frig rather than the defato OP BC. Yeah, thats really good for diversity.
Not true at all. Everywhere I go throughout all four empires and various regions I run into players who fly mostly frigs, dessies and cruisers. I travel a lot and I am in the process of cleaning up the hoarding I made throughout high-sec in 20-30 systems. That means I have traveled through hundreds of star systems in between those 20-30 systems where my random junk are stashed and I always run into frigs, dessies and cruisers.
Also, I have seen these things in action and they are not rubbish. If used right, a pack of frigates or dessies can kill a well-fitted battlecruiser or battleship. The Rifter, Atron, Catalyst, Thrasher, Coercer, Vexor, Stabber, and Blackbird are also extremely versatile for their class. Why also do you think Frigates and Cruisers are always primaried in battle? It's not because they're weak, which they are, but because they are extremely annoying if not dealt with early on.

@Darth Tickles - Recession is when the value of things go down. Growth is when the value of things go up.

Damn it, someone already beat me to it.

That's called deflation and inflation. And do you really think people will stop producing things, mining, trading...? HA.
Thank you for the correction.
Also, where did I say that people will stop producing?
