Ehon de Wakaru Keizai no Ohanashi: Bubble ga Machi ni Yattekita! (Kodansha No Sosaku Picture Book)

[Machine Translation] Mr. Penguin was a skilled furniture maker, but he is now retired. The animals in Animal Village live by helping each other. They bring him all kinds of food. One day, Penguin decides to send a mid-year gift to his neighbor, who has always been very kind to him. However, since he is retired from his job, he has no money. So, he handed out coupons with the message, "We will take care of everything for a whole day," to his neighbors. Penguin's coupons were very popular! The raccoon dog at the brokerage firm, who heard about the coupons, went to ......? The coupons originally given away for free by the Penguin became 1,000 yen, then 3,000 yen, and finally 100 million yen, until they became nothing more than a piece of paper. How is the price of things determined? Why is it that when the people around you seem to be making money, you can't stop yourself from wanting to make money too? Why is it terrible to borrow money to acquire something in the hope that the price will go up? Through the story of Animal Village, this is conveyed in an easy-to-understand manner. ( Message from Takuro Morinaga to children ) What I want to tell you is that money does not increase automatically. Money increases only when you work and when you take from others. When you invest, it may look like your money has increased, but that is because a "bubble" has been created, and the bubble is bound to burst. When the bubble bursts, the people who suffer the damage are those who continued investing until the end. In other words, investment is a game just like playing Bubba-doke. Therefore, the most important thing in life is to work diligently and earn money without thinking about making money through investment.
