The original dates back to before I was born. It's a parody of how
introductory Econ courses explains the limitations of a barter economy.
I first encountered it as "Enron Cows" in 2001. The version in the link
is Enron Cows modified with buzz words from the 2008 financial crash.

I don't remember the original joke in detail, but, it was much funnier,
this version looks like, someone else didn't remember it in detail,
tried to reconstruct it, and failed. Still somewhat amusing though.
