## Caption

This simple animated video series answers the question, "How does the #economy really work?" Based on my practical template for understanding the economy. 

This series breaks down economic concepts like #credit, #deficits and #interest rates, allowing viewers to learn the basic driving forces behind the economy, how economic policies work and why economic cycles occur.

This is Part 1, I hope you find this helpful.
