The Crisis of Credit Visualized does exactly that.
There has long been an inability for the masses to appreciate the degrees of grey that populate the issues of our modern times. It's long been our perogative to choose black or white and clamp down on our limited understanding.
The current credit crisis is a great example. Take what you know and point a finger, but we all know there's something more complicated going on.
Author/animator Jonathan Jarvis joined the Innovation Team at UNICEF, making system diagrams to make complex or crazy ideas understandable, even working a thesis on using new media to make sense of an increasingly senseless world. In this case, he expresses and explains the current economic crisis by giving it visual form and context, rendering it into a digestible and enjoyable short animation.
Actually, if joy is your takeaway after seeing this, you may still be somewhat out of the loop on things.
