Understanding the Crash

Understanding the Crash starts with a simple question that still haunts us all: What has happened to the world economy? With the kind of striking precision that only graphic nonfiction can provide, Seth Tobocman, Eric Laursen, and Jessica Wehrle explain just how we got into this mess-and how we can get out of it.

Seth Tobocman is a comic-book artist whose work often deals with political issues from a radical and independent point of view. He founded the magazine World War 3 Illustrated with Peter Kuper in 1979 and has been part of the editorial collective ever since. His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Village Voice, Heavy Metal, and many other magazines. He is author of a number of graphic books including War In The Neighborhood, Disaster and Resistance, and Len, A Lawyer in History. Tobocman’s art has been shown at the Museum Of Modern Art, the New Museum of Contemporary Art, The Museum of the City of Ravenna, Exit Art, and Abcnorio.
