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.

Yeah, so I am nuts and got the second season of Lost (iTMS link) from iTunes. This is good stuff. Added it to Tivo, too. (and yes, this means that in the last 48 hours or so, I’ve watched about 18 hours of Lost. Really. (Well, listened to is more like it since I’ve been doing wedding planning and work at the same time…, but still)
