The Crisis of Credit

ABOUT THE VIDEO
This video attempts to break down the credit crisis into an easy to understand presentation. The information presented is seemingly on target. There are perhaps a few cheap shots, but on the whole I think it stays away from politics and gives an even handed overview of how everything fell apart. I only take exception to the “irresponsible homeowners” having more kids than the “responsible” ones. Either way, I really recommend you taking the time to watch it. I have background in finance and have tried to keep up with all of the information coming out about the credit crisis, but this presentation really helped to weave it all together.
FROM THE AUTHOR
The goal of giving form to a complex situation like the credit crisis is to quickly supply the essence of the situation to those unfamiliar and uninitiated. This project was completed as part of my thesis work in the Media Design Program, a graduate studio at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. For more on my broader thesis work exploring the use of new media to make sense of a increasingly complex world, visit my website here.
