Visual Economics

July 11th, 2009 1 comment

When deciding what sovind.org would be focusing on, personal and government finance were toward the top of the list.   I ran across visualeconomics.com today and was impressed with the simple visualization of some of the more complex global and personal finance concepts the site provides.  The graphics are clear, concise, and seem to be factually accurate.  The image that initially caught my attention was :

Of course I had to compare myself to the average US household and see where I was being wasteful.    I gained some simple insights into my spending habits.   After exploring visualeconomics.com though there are several info graphics worth taking a peek at.   Follow the links and check them out.  Good Stuff!

I particularly liked the focus on subjects such as government efficiency, national and personal debt, and world wealth.  These info graphics help the sometimes complex concepts come through with remarkable clarity.
