Since the insolvency of the bank Lehman Brothers in september 2008 the entire world held it's breath and was looking toward the international financial centers.
Allthough the economic crisis wasn't as devastating as suspected, the people are more aware of the influence on the economy by the stock markets. Allthoug there is a public awareness of the effect of the finance system on our daily life, people don't know much about stocks, indices and market values.
GLOBAL SPIROMETRY is an entrance to the stock market. The user got access to the values and informations of 45 indices and 8300 stocks. In combination with other sources, for example the api of the new york times, the user got the possibility to see the transparency of the financial system, which isn't communicated alot in the common media.
