I know jack shit about economy, but I found this marvelously fascinating.

I'd like to know more about Big Mom's whole cake economy and how having the Homies be free labour with probably no buying power would affect the economy in whole cake island.

If the Homies can work for "free" to generate value, infrastructure and resources but possibly get no remuneration for it how would that affect the markets? How would they react when faced with the massive increase in labor (and hey who knows capital, maybe there's machine homies) but with unchanged demand.
