Equity Maps is an animated circular flow diagram of the U.S. economy.

The stationary blocks are sectors. The moving blocks are transactions. When you hover over a sector, the map highlights transactions moving towards the sector in cyan - this represents purchases made by the sector. Transactions moving away are highlighted in magenta - this represents goods and services sold.

Final Uses - commodities flow from domestic industry and imports to final uses: consumers, the government. and business investment.

Industry - each industry is listed on the right side of the map. Commodities flow from the producer to either final uses or exports. Intermediate inputs, like buying steel to build a car, are represented as transactions between industries.

Imports - on the bottom left, represents commodities that were imported.
