"The Finance Smurf" -Peyo

Remember the Smurfs?! The comics are being republished so I'm reading them. They have some crazy and fun adventures. But The Finance Smurf also teaches a great lesson in capitalism, "love of money" and economy.

A smurf goes to a human apothecary for some medicine and sees money exchanged. He decides to try it in the Smurf village. It's very cleverly done, illustrating how currency can change a society.

The Smurfs reads and is drawn very similarly to the Asterix comic books by Iscenko and Goscinny.

Tim Clifford's American Coins and Bills, just a basic overview of America's currency.

I'm just going to throw this in: Thomas Paine's Common Sense is a really good read on society and government.
