That is very reminiscent of what I call The Worst Introduction to Macroeconomics Lecture of All Time, disregarding the joke slides, of course.

I liked the Men in Green. Thanks Kwanstar. Just when I got tired of staring at the chart of the inflation of the money supply I get a whole page of worry!

Cool. But this is the one I check out every month (bottom chart ... PDF).

Thanks Kwantsar. A lot of these are cut and pasted from Wall Street research reports. I recognize quite a few in the format of my former employer and a few other banks. The raw data doesn't usually come from the banks, but the presentation of it does. Anyway, I bookmarked it and it'll probably come in handy somehow. But it's certainly not the place to go to for any sort of context behind the data.

A quick scan makes me shiver ... shall we watch everything sweep off the chart at once? Yeah, gotta bookmark this. Thanks!

it's time to confess ... i am actually john titor, traveller from the future ... i have much to tell you, but first, let me buy you a cup of coffee ... i hope that's enough (in other words, i don't like the looks of these charts)

This one interests me most:
$250B as a % of GDP may not be much (3%), but from my naive understanding of the velocity of money that $250B pinged around to approx $1T of economic activity, so it's really a lot of juice. As a quasi-Georgist, about half these charts have me chanting: "single tax! single tax! single tax!".

But it's certainly not the place to go to for any sort of context behind the data. You're kidding! And here I thought Kwantsar was trying to provide a complete economic education with this post! I want my money back!!

One of my most-often used Simpsons quotes is this one from Lisa: "I make a lot of graphs." Unrelated: an also often-used quote, from Nelson: "On the plus side, we knocked over the Sun Sphere".
