We've been immersed in news about the credit crisis for almost two years. Concepts at the heart of the crisis have been discussed and explained in articles and blogs but they remain difficult to understand. Jonathan Jarvis has written, designed, animated and produced a video summarizing and explaining the factors that have combined to cause the financial crisis we are in now. Jonathan is a graduate student at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. He developed this video, The Crisis Credit Visualized, as part of his masters thesis and has very generously put it on You Tube for our viewing pleasure.

Absolutely magnificent explanation. Wow. A tour de force. Doesn't make me feel any better about the whole situation though.

Morriss, this video has certainly gone "viral". I've seen it on a number of blogs since I posted it here.
