Newsweek’s Daniel Gross explains the Consumer Price Index (here’s the official BLS site) in a very simple video. I could do without the goofy sound effects, but it’s a good, 2 minute explanation of how the government tracks inflation.
Per David Simon’s Berkeley talk, though, the video doesn’t go into why this matters. Perhaps they’ll cover that in the next installment of the Economics 101 series.

Kareem just sent me a list of upcoming events at the Connecticut Forum. The second event listed is Al Franken and Ann Coulter. I MUST go see this. Especially after seeing what he says about her in his book.
