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 just got my copy of Fantastic Four from Amazon today, so I fired it up. The first thing I’m greeted with on this DVD I purchased legally was a long commercial telling me that buying pirated DVDs is a crime.
Cause, you know, I paid $15 to get a morality lesson. Stuff like this makes me want to stop buying DVDs.
