We've all seen the news, read the articles, and talked about it, but the credit crisis never really made sense to me. I didn't really get what all the reporters and economists were talking about in the media largely because I'm better with visualizations. Jonathan Jarvis made a great visual explanation of what happened to our economy through imagery and animation.

I'm curious to see how this clarifies things for others or if some things were not considered in the visualization. What do you think?
