The financial crisis explained!

This week’s This American Life did a great job of explaining just what were the forces behind the credit crisis that has been splashed about the headlines over the last three weeks. Fortunately, even if you weren’t around the radio to catch this week’s show you can still hear it in its entirety via the TAL website:

Alex Blumberg and NPR’s Adam Davidson—the two guys who reported our Giant Pool of Money episode—are back, in collaboration with the Planet Money podcast. They’ll explain what happened this week, including what regulators could’ve done to prevent this financial crisis from happening in the first place. You can learn more about the daily ins and outs on the Planet Money blog.
