Some of the questions that have been haunting me ever since the economic crisis started are
- What is this so called economic crisis and how it is caused?
- What is the meaning of all the terminology that they are using such as inflation, credit crunch, etc?
- How will the economic crisis effect us?
- How is money created?
- Are the governments around the world doing the right things?
- Is there a relation between the oil prices and the current economic crisis?
- Can the problem be solved and if it can be solved for how long will it go on?
I have been looking around for these answers and came across

It is totally worth going through because he talks in very basic terminology and he explains things right from the basics assuming you know nothing. A lot of it is scary and unimaginable but it makes logical sense. Take the time to go through all the presentations right from the begining as it is in a very logical order and you will not be able to understand the later presentations without going through the ones in the begining.

Hey excellent find!!! Thanks for sharing!
Very Informative course...... Thanks for sharing.
I was interested in seeing your ClustrMap of visitors that I was being directed off your site to view the expanded map on the provider's site. I think there is a way of "plugging in" the application so that your visitors can see the enlarged map as a semi-transparent display over your main page. I know there is a WordPress plugin available so it stands to reason that there is at least one for Blogger. I thought you would be interested in checking this out. You have a very interesting blog.
