★ A major economics primer under the super brand “Half‑Hour Comics,” backed by a hit IP with 7 million followers. This is the latest popular‑science work by Chen Lei (pen name: Er Hunzi), creator of comic‑style education, following the bestselling Half‑Hour Comics: Chinese History and Tang Poetry. The series has become the #1 knowledge‑comic brand in China, consistently topping sales charts.

★ Hilarious comics demystify everyday economics and cure all confusion. Why are pension funds running short? Why did China relax its two‑child policy? What's the use of the “five social insurances and one housing fund”? What should you know before buying a house? No boring numbers or jargon—just funny sketches and punchlines that make sense of these common puzzles and reveal the economic principles behind them.

★ Critically acclaimed and commercially successful, with over 10,000 positive reviews. Douban rating 6.9 from 12,000+ raters. Readers praise it as “the simplest way to understand the origin of money, social security, pensions, taxes, loans, consumer psychology, pyramid schemes, and more.”

The set comprises four volumes:
Vol.1 Everyday Life Basics
Vol.2 Financial Crises
Vol.3 Financial Crises (Finale)
Vol.4 Personal Finance

As the saying goes, if you don't manage your money, your money won't manage you. Watching others multiply their wealth, you itch to join. Yet open a finance site and it's a dizzying blur—too hard to understand, too hard to choose, and scary to pick wrong and lose it all.
Don't panic! The Half-Hour Comics team led by Chen Lei (Hunzi Ge) uses comics and stories to help you grasp financial knowledge from zero base and sort out money-management styles in half an hour:
No money and no time? Low-threshold, easy-to-use fund dollar-cost averaging helps you escape the "moonlight clan"!
Want to get rich overnight, win or lose? Stocks are for you!
Just parking your money for a bit, and you want to spend while you save? "Baby" wealth-management products—you may already be using one!
No complex formulas, no abstruse knowledge—just plain, easy comics and jokes. Flip through and you'll learn terms like seven-day annualized yield, earnings per 10,000 units, and T+1 settlement; read on and you'll sort out the pros and cons of stocks, funds, P2P, and other vehicles. It's play, learn, and quiz all at once—easily sorting out how to manage your money.
Open this book for a zero-base entry into financial knowledge and sort out money-management styles in half an hour!
