The Khan Academy, a non-profit started by Salman "Sal" Khan, has a fantastic series of videos on the Geithner Plan.
The Khan Academy site is more spectacular, featuring videos on Algebra, Calculus, Physics, Finance, Banking and Differential Equations - apart from the financial crisis. I'm a sucker for good teaching, so I'm going to spend a good amount of time learning all the stuff I'm already supposed to know - and I think this will be useful to pretend I actually know something when my son grow up and asks me to solve (shudder) a differential equation.

>Gr8 stuff Deepak.. thanks for pointing out this site.. This will be a great tool for a layman, as also for someone like me who thinks he/she already knows enough about the topic.. only to be humbled after going through the video
>Wow. Great find Deepak and thanks for sharing. Just went through the proposal he has proposed to prevent economic collapse. What I see is the survival of the fittest for the already troubled banks and instead gambling on the 700billion, making a fresh start worth for.
>In Layman’s term, Isn’t that “Option Writing”? The private Investor and the Treasury have limited downside (upto their equity) and all potential upside. The catch is – There’s no expiry on the option!! ;-) or may be far far into the future….
