Fareed Zacharia’s take

I try to catch Fareed Zachariah on CNN on Sunday’s for his commentary, if not the interviews that follow. Yesterday’s piece was extraordinary, and a great primer in how a single individual is managing to tank the economy all by himself. Includes data, charts, and graphs not available in the print version of the commentary.

If you would prefer to read the column (without the supporting charts) here is a link to the WaPo:

All you need is ten seconds to judge Fareed Zachariah’s spin

Time 0:30 to time 0:40.

  • Are factories booming or "We don’t make stuff anymore?
  • Are salaries booming or are wokers hurting?

You decide!

Zachariah should stick to teaching. He’s good at that!
