One of my pet peeves when reading the news is not having enough background information on the subject to comprehend the entire article. I really like getting to the bottom of things, but sometimes I just don’t have time to read an entire book on global economy just to understand a news article better. I did, however, find a fast and fun way to learn news related concepts. A YouTube channel known as the RSA had uploaded many short animations to explain complicated ideas, each video being usually no more than 15 minutes long. Here are some examples of their educational animations; I hope they’re helpful to you.
