The Credit Crisis Simplified

filed under: Finance and Lending posted on April 1st, 2009

Kudos to blog buddy Gretchen Merrick, writing from the South Bay, for calling my attention to this wonderful animation which explains the origins of the current credit crisis in clear and simple fashion. Her post contains a link to an interview on Terry Gross’s Fresh Air Show on National Public Radio, which offers more detail. The Credit Crisis Simplified | South County Real Estate Today

I thought I would offer the video here. I love this form of visual communication when done well!

    good explanation Pam. I really enjoyed the simplified version although it is hard to even imagine all of this was going on without us really seeing it for the past 7-8 years. Thanks for the education in its simplest terms.

    Hi Kappy–yes how could everyone from Alan Greenspan on down miss this? Good question. And credit for the simplified explanation goes to Jeff Jarvis. Good work!
