I've been reading and watching many explanations of the credit crisis. I find this video "The Crisis of Credit Visualized" is the best at simplifying the crisis. It's 10-11 minutes long.
The Crisis of Credit Visualized from Jonathan Jarvis on Vimeo.

YouTube Video on PowerPoint
So you want to show a YouTube video in a PowerPoint presentation? Here's how:
1) Make sure the computer you are doing your presentation from will be connected to the Internet.
2) Download a small application (also called add-in) from here: http://skp.mvps.org/youtube.htm. It's free.
3) Open "YouTubeVideo2k7.zip" file. Double click the file "YouTubeVideo2k7.ppam." It is installed!
OK, now you are writing your PowerPoint presentation and want to insert a YouTube video.
1) Click Insert tab. The YouTube Video button will be at the top (most likely the furthest spot on the right).
2) Click the YouTube Video button.
3) Copy the link of the YouTube video (example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anwy2MPT5RE)
4) Paste that link into the YouTube Video button wizard. (To paste, type "ctrl + v" at the same time.) Click next.
5) Most likely you will want to keep the defaults the way they are (Play box checked; Loop box unchecked). Click next.
6) Choose how much of the slide space you want it to cover. (example: 50 percent will cover half of the slide.) Click next. Click finish.
7) It looks like a white box with a big x. You can move it around like a picture.
8) To actually to see the video (instead of the white box), you will need to view it in a Slide Show. Click Slide Show tab. Click the From Current Slide button. It should be there!
Q. Will you be able to do this at your own computer, then bring the PowerPoint slide to a different computer (with Internet) that doesn't have this add-in installed and display the video?
A. Yes.
There are many other useful add-ins for PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Access on the Internet for free.

If you can't watch the video, here are the steps:
