Week of September 21, 2008 - September 27, 2008

The Mortgage Crisis and Financial Crisis Explained


In spite of the time of 24 hour video news there is hardly any discussion of what actually caused the problem in the financial markets last week.  Leave it to the people of NPR News and This American Life to get to the heart of the matter.  If you have never heard of "commercial paper," then you need to listen to this story.

And if you want to understand the root of the mortgage crisis, then listen to this.

I have never heard the situation explained so concisely.  Tell your friends!

Bio

As a former new-age organic free-range rat farmer, I bring a unique perspective to my career as a guerilla accountant for a large multinational holistic defense contractor. In my precious spare time I engage in two hobbies -- celebrity impersonations and astral projection. As a community service, I also dabble in psychotherapy, providing marriage counseling to foreign taxicab drivers.
