L'Economia di Zio Paperone

In the early 1990s, Italy’s Il Sole 24 Ore newspaper published this 36-issue series that used Disney’s Uncle Scrooge to explore economic and financial concepts in an accessible, educational way. Each issue blended classic Carl Barks-inspired comic stories with lighthearted lessons on money, business, and market principles—a unique intersection of entertainment and economics aimed at a broad readership. The series stands as a distinctive cultural artifact of its era, demonstrating how a beloved character could become a vehicle for real-world financial literacy.
