From the 13/12/2011 edition of NN, Gillian Tett, Ann Pettifor and Louise Cooper discuss a number of economic charts and their function in relation to understanding the underlying causes of the current economic crisis.
@r0ehamster yet somehow in the madness, you manage not to see the massive bulk that is the rest of the debt!? Remarkable. Maybe you should switch back to Top Gear.
The graph about five minutes in is not labelled. We are told that the dark brown bar at the bottom is 'public debt' and that its rise over the period 1987 to now, from less than 50% of Gross Domestic Product - everything the country earns in a year - to 100% today is not important, modest in fact. Think about this. I dare you not to consider it madness.
