Final summary
Economics Summary

“It’s not just about having fun or acquiring fragmentary information.
“Fields that were thought to be completely different are now woven together!”

How can everyone live well?
Vivid and realistic real knowledge!
The "Wide and Shallow" series, Volume 6! The economics section is complete.

"Broad and Shallow Knowledge for Intellectual Conversation," which organizes the humanities, which once felt difficult and unfamiliar, into an easy and fun way.
Since its publication, it has established itself as a national textbook for the Korean people, and the abbreviation of this book, ‘지대NPYAP’, has become a synonym.
Parents who first encountered Cha Sa-jang's book as an adult have been waiting for the children's version of "The Wide and Shallow Earth" and recommended it to their children as soon as it was published.


The question, 'Can children understand the humanities?' was a common worry among adults.
The children were completely absorbed in the story, eagerly awaiting the next one, and were not afraid to ask questions about history and economics.
Even within young children, there exists curiosity about the world and themselves.
Many families have experienced that their children's desire to embrace greater knowledge and their curiosity about new worlds are no less than those of adults.
This was possible because there was a story that showed that it was connected to my life, not just a simple list of knowledge.


The series “Chae Sa-jang’s Wide and Shallow Land” has now become a book that children read first and recommend to their parents.
There are many books that use comics to explain the learning content that children need to understand, but it is difficult to find a book that connects the vast humanities, like a vast forest, into a single core.
If you are exposed to the big picture of what it means to live in the world at a young age, it will help you understand the various information you will encounter in the future.


Volume 6 offers a profound insight into the neoliberalism we live under.
There is an argument that neoliberalism is the best economic system humanity has ever discovered.
This is because large capital monopolizes the market and the gap between rich and poor inevitably arises, but the economy as a whole grows and develops.
However, while neoliberalism has clear advantages, it structurally divides those who continue to benefit and those who are sacrificed.
Young readers, who have been exposed to capitalism from birth, will learn through this book why there is a divide between the rich and the poor, why communism failed, and how human history and the economic system are connected. By doing so, they will be able to break free from the idea that our economic system is absolute and the only value.


In an era where large capital monopolizes industries and polarization deepens, and a world where growth and distribution must be considered across diverse issues, the reason for studying economics isn't simply to learn how to become rich.
To understand the great foundations that determine the real world and to dream of a better world.

What we need more than anything is to connect the flow of knowledge and make it our own.
Speaking 'my thoughts' is not something that can be studied by memorization.
For children who need to understand hidden meanings and contexts and apply them to real life, this book will be an excellent teacher and discussion forum.
As important as knowledge is the power of thinking.
