World economy and crisis in one image

October 01, 2009

I love information design. A picture is worth a thousand words. This puts things into perspecive. How much is a “billion”? How much is a “trillion”? How do we use our money? If we were to be visited by an extra-terrestial intelligence and they saw how we organised our economy and how we choose to spend our wealth, how intelligent do you think they would think we are?
