Description "Early economic education can make our children wealthy. This is a book you can read in a day, but its effects will last a lifetime." — John Lee (CEO of Meritz Asset Management, author of "John Lee's Habits for Becoming Rich") · Practical Economic Principles That Build Real Money Sense ① The book is organized around three core pillars of economics—currency, markets, and finance—approached through 11 key questions designed to spark children's curiosity. ② Kids collect "Power Coins," a virtual currency earned by solving missions within the comic, and learn how to manage money through saving and investing. ③ Realistic economic elements—such as comparing deposit products by calculating interest to determine whether a savings account or installment savings is more advantageous, or simulating stock trading—are actively incorporated to boost practical learning. · Money Habits That Shape a Lifetime of Financial Skill The book includes a checklist to help kids assess their allowance management skills and personal financial habits, adding an element of fun. By understanding their spending patterns and evaluating their current habits, children can build smart financial practices. · A 100% Curriculum-Aligned Comic Packed with Economic Concepts ① Reflecting the 2019 revised curriculum, the book includes only the most useful knowledge needed both for schoolwork and everyday life. ② At the end of each major chapter, review questions reinforce what was learned, and an at-a-glance reference guide adds extra depth for topics that couldn't be fully covered in the story. · Free Video Lectures to Fill In Every Gap in Economic Knowledge For deeper concepts that are hard to grasp alone or that benefit from a teacher's explanation, students can scan a QR code for free video lessons by Han Yu-jin, a leading elementary social studies instructor at Elihigh (Megastudy's elementary division).
