Money Trees and Hedge Funds: A Historian’s Curious Take

This might sound a bit out there, but I’ve always wondered how our financial systems would adapt if resources were as abundant as leaves on a tree. If money literally grew on branches, would hedge funds even have a purpose, or would we just need a team of skilled gardeners to manage the harvest?

From a historical perspective, economies have always evolved around scarcity gold, land, labor. But what if that scarcity vanished overnight? Would financial institutions pivot to something else, or would they become obsolete? I’m curious to hear what others think, especially those with a knack for economics or even botany. Could we see a world where Wall Street becomes more like a greenhouse?

Hedge funds would just rebrand as “leaf funds” and charge you a 2% management fee to rake your backyard. Wall Street would finally live up to its name just a bunch of suits yelling “BUY THE BRANCHES!” under a canopy of dollar leaves.

Typical Wall Street leeches even the trees aren’t safe from their grubby hands. Just wait till they start shorting sunlight.
