21st century life is confusing. College majors don’t produce financial security. Being unaware of how capitalism works and how the business world works is a hindrance for any one not born with a trust fund.

What books or movies do you feel teach kids about life and business.
And, importantly, the kids will actually read?

*Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?* by R Maybury is a great book written for ages 11-13 and is interesting and informative even for adults. It gives some historical examples that read almost like a trivia book.
The publisher’s website describes it this way-
~ This clearly written book about economics is a remarkably easy and fun explanation of investment cycles, velocity, business cycles, recessions, inflation, the demand for money and more. Essential for every student, businessperson and investor. Recommended by former U.S. Treasury Secretary William Simon. It is also on many recommended reading lists.
The word “essential” might be a bit hyped, but I’ve read the book and that is a fair assessment otherwise. That link is below, but I’ve seen it slightly discounted at homeschool conventions.
