Rational resource allocation eventually breaks down in both cases because monetary systems can't survive being decoupled from the scarcity of physical reality or the preferences of the people who exist within it. Human preferences are infinite; goods and services are not. Money only works as the middle ground between infinite wants and finite resources so long as it has a tangible connection to both.
