The CBS News Sunday Morning show is one of my favorite weekend shows because of the variety of topics that are covered. Every episode covers stories from the world of news, entertainment, and the peculiar. Yesterday, the Fast Draw segment explained the history of credit cards in the United States. I've embedded the two minute video below.

Thanks Ryan. I am a business teacher and I always have a unit on credit and credit cards. This is a very handy video as it gets straight to the point and is not too long. Thanks,

Ryan,
Just put this into the Diigo bookmarks for our upcoming current events class at the high school. Plus, one of our critical thinking classes at the middle school is doing a unit comparing the Depression to this recent downturn. This will fit there too.
Your links rock, BTW.
Thank you for the positive comments. Glad I could help you out.

Good stuff! I'm gonna use this short video during my unit over the Great Depression. Thanks.
