Final summary

"The economy that Chairman Chae is unleashing is different."

The economy that supports human life,
When the economy changes, everything changes!
The "Wide and Shallow" series, Volume 4! Economics

How wonderful it would have been if I had a teacher like this when I was young! Studying would have been easy and fun! Countless adults who have read Chae Sa-jang's books have said this.
If I had known this when I was young, I think it would have been easier to understand the world and life would have been less difficult.
Parents were the first to get excited about the "Cha Sa-jang's Wide and Shallow Land" series of humanities books for children.
The children also shared the book with their friends and became engrossed in the narrative of the new character, Alpha.
Children who had previously shown no interest in the humanities quickly read the book, asked questions, and began discussions using difficult historical and economic terms.
It was impressive to many parents to see children who had only seen them as children fully enjoying intellectual conversation.


From volume 4, the full-fledged 'economic' story begins.

There have been many economics books for children before.
From books that explain the basic concepts of economics, starting with barter, to books that teach you how to become rich by investing your allowance.
In the age of capital, talking about money with your children has become an important element of practical education.


However, the economics covered in this book is different from those in previous books.
This is because it was designed to provide a deep understanding of the important economic systems that have shaped human history.
Capitalism is a system that is said to be the greatest invention of mankind.
Despite many side effects and problems, it has survived for over 200 years and continues to move the world.
Understanding how capitalism began and what changes it has undergone to reach its current state, and the economic system we use, is like understanding the keywords that grasp history, politics, and the various inevitable phenomena occurring around the globe. In "Cha Sa-jang's Wide and Shallow Land 4" - "The Invisible Hand," weaves together stories about the various types of economic systems we previously only knew intellectually, allowing us to indirectly experience them and understand with our hearts how human daily life and history change according to the economy.


Why do people in different countries live so differently? How do economic policies change with each change in government? What roles do taxes and welfare play? What does it mean for government to intervene in the market? Children who understand the big picture of the economy will be able to make wise decisions in the countless choices they face in life.


An instant bestseller
Selected as a 2022 Boy's Korea Outstanding Children's Book
Established as a cultural book that satisfies both parents and children

"The Broad and Shallow Land of the President" received attention from parents and various media outlets and became a bestseller immediately after its publication.
At its core, it is based on the trustworthiness of a successful adult book series, as well as the inevitability that what children need most today is a humanistic mindset.
When dealing with a single historical or economic event, there was no book that helped me move beyond memorizing numbers, names, and information about it to understanding the hidden meaning and overall flow.
In that respect, the series 『Cha Sa-jang's Wide and Shallow Land』 serves as an excellent teacher and debater.
The powerful intellectual experience that young readers will experience while reading this book will remain with them for a very long time and will become a source of nourishment for their lives.
