Dunno and His friends is sort of naturalistic kids book.

Dunno in the Sun City is the communist propaganda promoting a statist view.(the anti-hooligan bits). Lots of cool tech will solve everything. Self-driving cars.

Dunno on the Moon is a biting satire of free market.

Some of the bits are still relevant.

-The big seed startup that Dunno creates with the shady partners.

-The stock market schemes on the barge.

-The pay for everything(key,blanket,tv etc) business model hotel.

-The police corruption.

-The collusion at the highest level.

-The dog walker profession. (the walker's condition is markedly worse than the dogs they care for

- the role of mass media

-The salt startup and the salt market dumping and crash.
