Final summary

“My child read it several times and started discussing it.”_From a parent review
A book that fosters humanistic thinking from a young age.
The second volume of the 'Wide and Shallow' series, which parents read first and read together with their children!

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.
When the first volume of the "Chae Sa-jang's Wide and Shallow Land" series of humanities books for children was released, parents were the first to get excited.
And the children were drawn into the narrative of the new character Alpha.

In Volume 1, the main character Alpha appears as a slacker, which arouses interest.
God sees humans as foolish and human life as boring.
Who would have thought that such an Alpha would be subject to human control? His naive human friend, Omega, awakens the Alpha.
So Alpha decides to live tenaciously as a human.
In Volume 2, Alpha returns as a highly successful capitalist.
Can Alpha really thrive in a modern capitalist society?

Volume 2 covers the beginnings of full-fledged capitalism, the era of imperialism, World War I, the Great Depression, and other historical knowledge learned in textbooks, as well as the core economic knowledge not taught there.
Why did a powerful nation invade a weaker one? What was the real cause of the war? Following Alpha's turbulent story will make the complexities of world history and economics sink in.

An instant bestseller
Selected as a 2022 Boy's Korea Outstanding Children's Book
A must-read for adults, thrilling 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 intense 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.
