This show taught me about inflation


in one episode, Gyro built a machine that duplicated things, the nephews thought it would be a good idea to clone Scrooge's money, but it got out of control, the city was flooded with money and hot dogs cost like 3 million dollars. And Scrooge even warned them it would ruin the economy.

Yeah, that was a good educational episode.

Intelligence and purity.

I remembered that episode. Interesting how the show was for kids but the themes sometimes can be identifiable to the economy...

"We've witnessed your human capacity for war. It would absolutely bring more harm than good."

That's quite sad you learned it from a cartoon...

Not many 8 year old kids read the Economist.

yes, same here. The Cartoon Recess taught me about Capatalism and economics in the Monsticker episode.
