Reading: Nina Weger, Die sagenhafte Saubande. Kommando Känguru, 203-222 (end).
Listening: Ich weiß was, Albert E. erklärt Taschengeld: Umgang mit Geld, 16:30-36:30
Viewing: Let's Play Kung Fu Panda, Episode 2 (20:00) and 3 (24:17)
In the money audiobook there is a scene (min. 22), very similar to the one in the Inkiow book from a couple week ago, where the children wonder why enough money can't be created to give everybody enough, whereupon a grandfather character explains to them about inflation, specifically the hyperinflation in Germany after WW1.
This really brings home why the Germans are so deathly afraid of loose monetary policy. They get it very young! Let's just hope German inflexibility in this regard doesn't destroy the Euro.
At 31:00 there is a scene where the sister charges her brother interest (one gumdrop) on a loan of sixty cents. When the father learns of this, he is quite unhappy, and the sister drops the interest. The ensuing section is by no means simple-minded and condemnatory of interest. Still, I find it interesting that interest is introduced into the story as something negative in itself (it's not like the father thinks, for example, the sister has charged too much interest).
