Fareed Zakaria On How Tribalism And Right-Wing Reactionary Movements Are Shaping Our World

Peabody Award-winning journalist and CNN host Fareed Zakaria argues that a backlash to rapid cultural change is the root cause of right wing movements around the world, and he urges Israel to heed President Biden’s warning and learn from America’s mistakes in responding to terrorism. His new book, “The Age of Revolutions,” is available now and his show, “Fareed Zakaria GPS” airs Sundays on CNN.

I really enjoyed this interview with Mr. Zakaria. It is so wonderful to hear someone speak from a neutral position citing world history as the basis for their opinion. History does repeat itself & it is a fool who doesn't take note of that fact. Thank you, Mr. Zakaria.

[Peldrigal]

Outstanding guest. Knowledgeable, well spoken, and witty.

[bradcraig]

Dude is a legend among news hounds, you should have him on more often.

[doloresross]

I am a big fan, watch his broadcast every week. It's refreshing to have his global view.

[HelHathNoFury]

Fareed Zakaria is one of the most thoughtful, intelligent people of our times.

[Qallash]

Fareed Zacharia is one of the best to talk about foreign affairs 👏🤩

[mohammedghander]

Fareed Zakaria is a wise man, God bless him

[duicic]

Ahhh, Fareed Zakaria. The man is always worth listening to. Always has some take that professionals from any discipline can benefit from considering (I‘m a historian, and he makes some excellent connections).

[valencia]

I have So Much Respect for him! Add his book to my list.

[franknemeth]

Reversing evil is a job for all of us .

[cheretodd]

That Britain/ Mississippi comparison is SHOCKING! The people of Mississippi should be outraged by the failures of their state government!

I heard Mr. Zakaria interviewed about his new book on a couple of radio shows on National Public Radio (NPR). And quite frankly, the interviews were longer and better than here. His explanation about the "tribalism" in American politics is fascinating. He explains how Biden and the Democrats are campaigning on economic issues, and that is not moving the polling because the tRump GOP are highlighting (and setting fire to) so-called "cultural issues." This should have us worried. Gotta get his book.

I have the greatest respect for Fareed Zakaria and enjoy listening to him on CNN.

[Estenberg]

This is so refreshing to watch a television dialogue between two people who are SMART.

The problem with tying economic indicators to the voting population is that the economic indicator formulas began systematically removing living expenses in favor of business expenses in the 1980s. Our individual well-being was basically severed from the national economy in favor of big business. It's why our wages never kept up with inflation. Inflation numbers only accurately reflect the inflation affecting businesses, not home owners, renters, workers or the disabled - you know, the voting population. Notice, the formulas for 'national inflation' no longer include the costs of housing, food, transportation, health care, insurance, CHILD CARE, or any of the other major expenses of working people.

Fareed Zakaria's right in that the best piece of advice the US can offer to Israel is start working on your plans for getting out now before you go into this any deeper.

[Beginstheman]

I can listen to Fakaria for hours if he can provide lectures on how the past has shaped the current world, especially those aforementioned revolutions.

[TheGrun]

Fareed forgets to mention that the Dutch "Golden Age" was enabled by colonial plunder and slavery over the course of centuries. As a Dutch person, I must insist that any analysis of Dutch wealth without any reference to colonialism in Indonesia, South Africa, Suriname, and the Antilles is woefully inadequate and deceptive.

Imagine how all of us could enjoy this booming economy if the wealthy paid their fair share of federal taxes.

shaped by religion . . . right there is the problem
