Last year, for instance, the "inflation" prize went to a three-page comic strip about a king who was so prodigal when it came to reimbursing dragon-slayers for their services with his daughters' hand in marriage that soon an apple would set you back twelve and a half units of royal female progeny.Presenting economic principles in quirky comic form has clearly struck a chord, especially with children who adore the genre. Economists the world over bemoan their compatriots' dismal grasp of the dismal science. Implemented on a large scale, FOR's idea could help fix that.
