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.

I’m watching SportsCenter right now and they’re showing clips of the postgame locker room interviews from the Suns. The players all talked about what happened in their loss tonight and to a man, they talked about getting better shots and making plays. This, even though they had a better shooting percentage, better three point percentage and better free throw percentage.
How about playing some defense?
