The Crisis of Credit Visualized – Part 1


The Short and Simple Story of the Credit Crisis. By Jonathan Jarvis. Crisisofcredit.com 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 jonathanjarvis.com Or email me at jonathan.jarvis@gmail.com Support the project!

    @ FilerocktheworldI has a high rate of increase in investment risk. Since interest rates are higher, more dangerous. That’s good, like gambling: winning a high chance of winning a little.

    @ Abf617 he had a problem when you run the system in the United States in 1980. . . Do you maybe it was just a criminal, and may, or anti-Communist Ukraine? No system is best. . . The Soviet Union was unfortunate glitches. . . It was a hell of a whole shit. . . People lived, and I was all right, not bad, not the rich live. My parents were teachers.

    @ WorIdcitizen who came from Ukraine to the United States in 1980, I can tell that it was the Soviet Union actually complete nonsense. It said Obama is more than disorder, and Everybody thinks socialism.

    Moral hazard was that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac housing bubble is definitely a great author of the path of the mortgage based on the Government knew or implied everyone. I guarantee it. Take advantage of everything that must be understood what the potential collapse is that it is impossible to discourage the FRB. In addition, investors looking to drive more dangerous areas with the return rate, we artificially cheap credit to support the housing bubble, have been flooded.

    Now I got close. But I misunderstood you about how to add a significant risk. Better deal for the creditors it?

    @ Wakeamerica1 the number of factual information, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage in fact, represent or guarantee the petition may not purchase loans and investment banking services to them. . And the biggest thing that people miss the essence of all epideixi.To this total from all of the private sector and animation: The rating agencies. Rather that the CDO has been known to appreciate the object is to reduce the risk for everyone, no one cares.

    Very well made video. . . But I need to do to create a video about how the housing crisis. In addition, Fannie Mae is nothing that is not included and Freddie. Your video is correct, greedy banks, the slap all the sins for what may be perceived as defective. Clinton, Carter for the sins of the Community Reinvestment Act signed in 1977 does not, and. Forced to rent a small amount of bank loans to high-risk families in this way. Well, Fannie and Freddie, or subprime, and still mention? Obama’s 94% owned by the smell.

For mathematics, has created these financial instituions temptation to buy something they could not afford the illusion that people fancy using sophisticated algorithms.
