Book 9 — The Big Melon and the Sugar Tax

CHF 3.50

The coffers are empty: Mayor Melon invents the “sugar tax” on chocolate. At 10%, all is well. At 50%, smuggling explodes. At 90%, the creators pack their bags for Libertal, the neighbouring village where taxes are low. With a sledge race, Coco and Buddy prove the Laffer hill: too much tax kills the tax. But Durio holds the village by its debt… and is secretly preparing the biggest bubble Fruitwil has ever seen.

What your child learns: what taxes are for, the Laffer curve, a village’s debt.

33-page e-comic in PDF, ages 7 and up, to read on a tablet or computer, or to print. A useful gift for your children or grandchildren.
