Credit Crunch, The

Synopsis: 2008/09 saw the UK descend into its worst recession since 1980, with rising unemployment, falling house prices, dropping interest rates and widespread business failures. This film examines basic economic concepts and uses the accessible analogy of a local burger bar to explain what the credit crunch is and the impact it has had on the business world: the winners, losers, and realistic ways in which the situation may be resolved.

Clearly defined chapters allow for the programme to be used in one viewing, or as introductory segments to subsequent lessons.
