There are also three episodes of This American Life that do a good job of laying this out--- The Giant Pile of Money (5/9/08) Another Frightening Show About the Economy (10/3/08) Bad Bank (2/27/09) All available free for streaming here: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio_archive.aspx
Also, the two guys who collaborated on these, one from Marketplace and one from TAL have a blog here: http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/
I found the TAL episodes to be very helpful, in part because the first two in particular put a human face on these big picture calamities.
