Welcome to SeeTheDollars

SeeTheDollars uses pictures, like the animation below, to make the economy easy to understand and fun to discuss.
Using the common language of pictures, experts and non-experts can come together to talk about the economy.
The experts bring knowledge and the non-experts bring intuition.
