GPS 02.27 
This week on GPS: An exclusive interview with one of the most controversial public figures of late who is also one of the most outspoken advocates for spreading democracy throughout the world. Paul Wolfowitz, an architect of the Iraq War weighs in why he thinks both the Obama administration and one of the administrations he was a part of -- George W. Bush's -- have bungled Libya. He also talks about the broader events in the Middle East and just what role the United States needs to play. Also, Fareed's take on the Arab world, finally breaking out from nearly 1,000 years of foreign domination. Fareed explains just what that means not just for the Arabs, not just for America, but for the entire world. Then, rising food prices inspired revolution...which then raised gas prices...which will then raise food prices. Find out what this vicious cycle means for you. And why it has world leaders shaking in their boots. After that we look back at the world financial crisis with economist and NY Times best selling author Michael Lewis. What's the landscape here in the U.S. two years later? And why was America able to stay afloat while countries like Greece and Ireland are sinking. And finally a look at a memo you should hope your boss never sends you. Watch HERE . Recent Highlights | | Zakaria: Global prices, financial crisis3:45 |

The Arab world is finally breaking out from nearly 1,000 years of foreign domination. But what does this mean for not only that region, but the rest of the world? Watch Fareed's Take HERE to find out. NEW GPS SPECIAL: GETTING BACK TO #1 ON MARCH 6TH
For years the United States has been the world's leader. And America has the place where anyone can dream the American Dream and build a better life for themselves. But does all that still hold true? If America now ranks as the 5th best country in which to run a business, 23rd in infrastructure, 49th in life expectancy and so on, can we still call it #1? And if the American Dream is slipping out of people's grasps (as we discussed in our first special "Restoring the American Dream "), what can we do to put America back on top in every category? To answer that question we're bringing you the second installment in our "Restoring the American Dream" series of specials. This one is entitled, "Getting Back to #1". We've assembled a top notch group of experts and entrepreneurs to figure just how that can be done. You'll hear from: - Jeffrey Sachs, Columbia Professor and the man the NY Times once called "the most important economist in the world"
- Niall Ferguson, Newsweek columnist & Harvard professor who specializes in financial & economic history - Joseph Nye, Professor of International Relations at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government
-Dambisa Moyo, the international economist and NY Times best selling author
- And the two men behind one of America's recent entrepreneurial success stories, the founders of Foursquare : Dennis Crowley and Naveen Selvadurai Tune in on SUNDAY MARCH 6th at 8p ET & PT to find out just how America can once again become #1. | | | | WITW: THE NEXT GLOBAL CRISIS

| GPS 02.20
Last week on GPS: An exclusive interview with billionaire banker and activist George Soros. The man who has given billions of dollars of his own money to support democracy and open societies around the world offers his take on the events sweeping across the Middle East and North Africa, and makes a bet that the Iranian regime will fall within a year. Soros, a big backer of Obama's presidential campaign, offers his opinion of how his candidate has fared in office. The answer might surprise you. And just what about those accusations by Glenn Beck, saying Soros is the "puppet master" trying to overthrown the American way of life? Soros fires back. Fareed offers his take on Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, etc. He says we're at the start of a decade of great change in that part of the world, as the Middle East modernizes. So why is it happening? And why is it happening NOW? It has to do with youth and technology. Tune in to find out more. Then, we'll separate the fact from the fiction on the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt? Are they just another political party or do they really want to impose Sharia law on all the world? Fareed talks to the man who is perhaps America's top expert on the group. And the fervor in the Middle East isn't limited to Egypt's Arab neighbors. Violent protests against the Iranian regime have broken out in Tehran. And the parliament is calling for the execution of the opposition leaders. We have a panel of GPS experts to tell you just what is going on in Iran. And finally, a last look at some explosive artwork coming out of Baghdad. Watch HERE . | | | |
