Anatomy of a Default

A recent series of spots for the Wall Street Journal. The anatomy of a National Default. We've been hearing plenty about the crisis in Europe. This is some deep shit we are in here, folks, let's hope it doesn't get to stage 5.

Stage 1: Banking Trouble

Stage 2: Political Turmoil

Stage 3: External Aid Package

Stage 4: Bond Swap/ Offer Package

Stage 5: Capitulation/Default
