Title: The Sub-Prime Credit Crunch - Explained
Post by: karajorma on January 24, 2008, 09:41:35 am

I've sent this to a few people over the last couple of months when it cropped up in conversations with people online so I figured I might as well post this for everyone here who might be interested.

Satirists John Bird and John Fortune explain what caused the problem.

The problem with those two is that it's almost impossible to explain to someone who hasn't seen them in action how two men talking about investment banking can be hilarious. :D

Good stuff. The only thing that would have made it better would be the inclusion of John Cleese.
