Strange maps
February 27th, 2009

If you want to get further depressed about the state of the world economy, click over to the map prepared by NRC Handelsblad, the leading business newspaper in The Netherlands. Tons of information, intelligently presented.
I found the map through the increasingly indispensible Fistful of Euros, my go-to site for European economic commentary, closely followed by Eurointelligence.
(By the way, there’s nothing strange about the maps. But I couldn’t resist an homage to the wonderful Strange Maps.)
