Product Description
Why Play Leapfrog? is an educational movie that explains capitalism (in particular worker wages) to school kids. A Cold War relic without question, this film effectively demonstrates American capitalism with a classic cartoon. Joe, the main character, is a face painter at the Dilly Doll factory. He gets a lesson about American economics after he learns that every time he gets a pay raise, the cost of goods rise as well (leapfrogging). The narrator explains to him that labor costs are responsible for the rise in prices. He uses an example in which the materials of a $1900 car only cost $22 and that the rest of the markup is due to direct and indirect labor costs. Joe learns that in order for wages to outstrip prices, his factory must constantly increase productivity, or make more dolls using the same number or fewer workers, an idea that isn’t entirely on the side of the workers of the world. Does innovation contribute to worker productivity? You bet! Joe takes the lesson to heart, coming up with a new idea for increased doll production and earning himself a raise in the process. The benefits of Capitalism are the focus of this fun film, but also included are wacky characters and strange scenes. This is one of the best Cold War propaganda cartoons.
