I came across a wonderful series of explanation videos on youtube this morning (sometimes random internet clicking has its benefits!).  Kurz Gesagt, a Munich based design studio founded by Philipp Dettmer & Stephan Rether in 2013 creates 5 minute animated explanations on some of the most complex topics there are.  Here are 4 of my favourites – on Iraq & ISIS, on Banking, on Fracking and on Time itself!

Iraq Explained — ISIS, Syria and War

Banking Explained – Money and Credit

Fracking explained: opportunity or danger

On Time

Watch More Great Explanations

These videos are all produced by the design studio Kurz Gesagt and take up to 200 hours each to create.  You can subscribe to their youtube channel here
