Praise for Understanding the Crash "Finally, a book on the financial crisis that brings the conversation back to the people most effected by it. For all those who want to better understand the forces behind today's troubled economy, yet are tired of struggling through incomprehensible, jargon-filled and often tedious analysis, this book is for you. Thanks to Seth Tobocman, Eric Laursen and Jessica Wehrle for this compelling and accessible work." --Annie Leonard, author and host, The Story of Stuff " Understanding the Crash takes a huge step forward in revealing the power of the graphic format. Both history and ideas are clearly and potently expressed here, and in a very engaging fashion. This is an important read." --Sid Jacobson, co-author of The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation "In continuity, comics, sequential art, or whatever we care to call this field, we strive to widen the audience we can reach and deepen the understanding we can bring to a topic. Complex subjects benefit particularly from the graphic approach and Understanding the Crash deals with just such a topic, one that has eluded me however many news items I've encountered or pored over--until now, that is.

Thanks to this lucid, dynamically illustrated graphic treatise, I have a far better grasp of the profound condition effecting our country. Kudos to all involved." --Ernie Colón, co-author of The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation.
