Unless pretty much all humans experience a drastic change in their constitution and way of thinking, luxury goods (of limited supply such as Champagne of a certain brand and a certain year) will always be coveted, valuable, priced, and therefore not free. Same goes for capital goods including land. The Rothschild-led corporatism is a very unequal system but my impression is that the Rothschild-led Soviet communism was an even worse one if environmental damage and sustainable land usage is considered. I would instead go for small farming (one farm producing food for 10-20 families), which was the norm in Old Testament Israel, the 1800s United States, Third Reich, postwar Finland, and still is in many developing countries, Japan, Switzerland, etc.

So even though you might define a monetary reset as the end of the crisis, I expect this will include a "tax" on exchanging gold for the new "SDR" unit, i.e. expropriation. In other words, a continuation of the crisis in the form of fascist-totalitarianism where production is increasingly consolidated under control by a few.

Your poor could appropriate a greater portion of the (monetary) value of the GEC economy to themselves.

Money (think: matter in general) is produced and distributed. In the case of money (think: non-dark matter), the production and distribution is "top-down" - begetting plutocracy. In the case of "anti-money" (rpietila et al) (think: dark matter), that production and distribution is "bottom-up" - preempting (second denotation) plutocracy.

Quote from: Eric Schechter (Professor Emeritus, Math Department, Vanderbilt University), "Potential versus Completed Infinity:
Its History and Controversy," 2009

Potential infinity refers to a procedure that gets closer and closer to, but never quite reaches, an infinite end.

Quote from: Epicurus (341‒270 BCE)

The wealth required by nature is limited and is easy to procure; but the wealth required by vain ideals extends to infinity.

Under "anti-money" (rpietila et al), "vain ideals" (Epicurus) experience, analogically, the "hard radiation" (McIrvin) of the economic equivalent of the "infinite blueshift" (McIrvin) of a Schwarzschild wormhole - acute hyperinflation in their markets.

Economy is the controlled implosion of conceived value, via the []infinite blueshift[ (McIrvin)] of idle want, within a social Schwarzschild wormhole that terminates with ones person.
