Greece’s financial crisis explained

July 1, 2011

As protests continue in Greece, the country’s financial crisis seems to be in check — at least for now. If you’re still wondering what precipitated the financial strain on the country, look no further than the following multimedia explainers.

In “The Greek Crisis Explained” video series, the financial problems of the country are stripped down to kid-friendly, animated allegories that anyone can understand.

Both The New York Times and The Washington Post (shown below) use flowcharts to explain the debtors and indebted in Europe. The graphics show that Greece’s debt not only affects Europe, but the U.S. as well.

For insight into the very human element of this financial story, navigate to Boston.com’s “Big Picture” photoblog for gripping images from the ongoing protests in the country.
