While not strictly a time travel story, I can remember reading a short about
a man who placed $1 in the bank to accumulate interest payable to his
descendant in the fiftieth generation. By the time that the it became
payable, it represented all the assets in Earth, Vanus, and Mars. The 49th
generation person died without issue, and so the world goal of Communism
(which was by this time long quashed) became reality when the government
took default.

Was it in Mathematical Magpie, maybe???  Hmmmm....
