Do these comics teach children that central planning of an economy by an intellectual elite does not work? The Fed is nothing but a central planner who manipulates prices in an attempt to steer the economy. I don't understand why many economically knowledgeable people cluck their tongues and make fun of the silly communists/socialists who are inclined to artificially set prices for politically sensitive goods/services like energy or healthcare, but don't realize that the Fed artificially manipulates the price of EVERYTHING with its monkeying with the money supply. It is wrong for the government to manipulate free market prices of everything, including money. Sadly, these comics just indoctrinate children with the idea that central planning of an economy through a central bank is a good thing.
