Free comics from the Federal Reserve: economics, banking, foreign trade, etc.

Action Comics #1 (June 1938), the introduction...

My wife and I just ordered some comic books from the Federal Reserve on topics that we think our children should learn about:

- banking

- monetary policy

- currency

- barter

- checks and electronic payments

- and most important to their future (sadly), inflation

These comic books are useful educationally, particularly in the current environment, and single copies are free.  Order here.

    The ugg boots experience more than sufficiently teaches that men govern nothing with ugg bailey button more difficulty than their tongues. ugg boots experience never misleads; what you are missed by is only your ugg lo pro button judgement, and this misleads you by anticipating results from ugg classic cardy experience of a kind that is not produced by your experements.
  • This is a very cool idea. Since children already love comics, why not buy the comics around subjects they should learn now, not when it's too late! Thanks for the idea.
