Free Resources: from today's webinar

During today's National Library Week webinar, I mentioned a number of free resources that provide current awareness and/or explain concepts relating to the financial crisis.

Felix Salmon's blog - Felix is a Reuters columnist who blogs about the financial crisis. He covers one issue per day with good linking.

The Speculative Debauch - this blog is intended to provide current awareness and explanations for law librarians practicing in the securities / corporate law area.

Reuters DealZone - a business blog that covers the transactional market: hedge funds, private equity, LBO's and M&A.

Marketplace White Board - a series of entertaining videos explaining financial crisis terms like collateralized debt obligation and credit default swap.

Planet Money - a current awareness blog with a glossary of terms.

This American Life - two excellent, in-depth shows about the economic crisis: Bad Bank and Another Frightening Show About the Economy.
