In "Secret History of the Credit Card," FRONTLINE® and The New York Times join forces to investigate an industry few Americans fully understand. In this one-hour report, correspondent Lowell Bergman uncovers the techniques used by the industry to earn record profits and get consumers to take on more debt. "The almost magical convenience of plastic money is critical to our famously compulsive consumer economy," Bergman says. "With more than 641 million credit cards in circulation and accounting for an estimated $1.5 trillion of consumer spending, the US economy has clearly gone plastic." Millions of American families use their personal, general-purpose credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover to make ends meet; credit cards have been a discreet lifeline for families in financial straits.

May 26, 2012
Ahead of its time this is a cartoon animation that's been up on the web since 2006 and is all about the credit crunch crisis.

We no longer spend what we have earned, we spend what we havn't earned on the back of house price rises and yet more loans. The banks are prospering and fat cats are awarding themselves massive bonuses, but it cannot continue. Beware the debt time bomb may bring the walls of the western world clattering to the ground. Song arranged and performed by Old Man Pie, with animation by Stuart (formerly of The Pie). Song written by Kyle Christie and (c) Kyle Christie 2006. Credit crunch credit crunch credit crunch!
