Very good talk. I would argue that the attraction with Bernie Sanders, though, was not his 'authenticity' but the fact that he was not owned by the interests that own the other politicians and was thus free to represent the interests of voters.
@@blackout07blue Populist movements are never 99%. They are uaually the loudest, most demanding. Others are shut down. The right and left have developed populist factions. Both say this is how the country should be, and shut down conversation with non- believers.

Mr Zakaria is being somewhat disingenuous re HIS Indian upbringing. He is the son of a minister in the state government and had, consequently, a privileged upbringing. Moreover, he comes from an upper middle-class family. While TV was almost non-existent during his upbringing, there were most certainly a steady stream of Hollywood movies with some, eg The Sound of Music running for a year in his home city, Bombay. There was lots of information on the US and England. The United States Information Service ran a very popular reading room/library and magazines like the National Geographic and Time and Newsweek were avidly read. I remember reading the four installments in The New Yorker where Capote's In Cold Blood originally appeared.The British Council library had the latest books from England and the US and a large selection of magazines. While life for the average Indian was rather bleak, for people from Mr Zakaria's position in life, just like mine, was privileged
Thanks for that informative, honest post. It's obvious that he comes from a very privileged, upper-class background. He carries himself as if he comes from some type of North Indian Muslim aristocracy, almost as if his family is descended from Mughal Dynasty. He has subsequently embraced an American form of aristocracy. He currently carries himself as a Manhattan, Ivy League elitist. He is also a self-appointed spokesperson and defender of Harvard and Yale.
It says a lot if listen carefully for instance when he spoke about Donald trump I don't think people vote for him becouse they hate intellectuals rather they vote for Donald becouse he represents them and uses common sense which modern intellectuals lack in my opinion.
I like that about PowerPoint. The best trainers never use PowerPoint. At most they write crazy stuff on those giant tablets with markers.. I like that, that's fun.
Great talk, but Fareed Zakaria contradicts himself on Sanders: 54:02 "Sanders proposals were wildly unaffordable" BUT at 50:25 you indicate your support for universal health care, Sanders more important plank (which every other Democracy already has). What's "unaffordable" is the health care system we have now, which is FAR more costly than the socialized health care other Democracies already have. Sanders is NOT just "likeable"-- he's a pragmatist. 55:12 "anti-capitalist" That's a DNC falsehood-- Sanders is NOT anti-capitalist at all. Where do you get that?
What is missed is that all this optimism ignored the people who have been here. They got tired of being shit on. The establishment got what they deserved.
This retraining idea is great except in good old USA. Here its labeled as socialism plus the gov doesn't want its people to be educated unless they pay outrageous amounts of money.

Fareed is the best. Great stuff. Thanks for putting this on RUclips for those of us who could never make it to something like this.
Love how he smears populism even though it's simply popular positions representing the 99%. His dumbass conflates populism and nationalism.
His every speech is the same.
Honestly, one of the best lecture i have ever heard. Good work Fareed. Hope to see more from you. Thanks for such nice lecture.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing such a cogent, explanatory talk.
Fareed Zakaria is brilliant. what a find.
I dont always agree with Fareed, but you cannot dent that he is great speaker.

Asoke Maurya so what? How does that change what he's saying

Fact
what we will remember: "there are good people on both sides, Balieve me, there are, there are"
If only more of you Americans could understand this stuff... they move to the USA to become American ... not to change America
Good talk but he was 100% wrong about working class people not liking professionals in cities, they are in cites more than professionals
Part of went wrong was emerging aspects of a forming plutocracy over 40 years. You won't get that take from Zakaria.

I was wrong: It's very very very very shallow.

Excellent talk but he's used the same jokes in atleast 4 talks.
Cultural anxiety is a polite way to say biggotry
You just foolishly simplified complex, nuanced feelings.
Wow. This is something very very shallow.
He's a dangerous figure who loves to deceive people.
Why?
