On Fareed Zakaria GPS Today

December 9, 2018

On Today's Show

On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:

First, Fareed gives his Take on the nostalgia for the old establishment that some have expressed in the wake of George H.W. Bush's death. "For all its faults — and it was often horribly bigoted, in some places segregationist and almost always exclusionary — at its best, the old WASP aristocracy did have a sense of modesty, humility and public-spiritedness that seems largely absent in today's elite."

Next: With France gripped by rioting and Britain plagued by Brexit uncertainty, Fareed talks with Sophie Pedder, Paris bureau chief at The Economist, George Osborne, editor of the Evening Standard and former British finance minister, and Nicholas Burns, professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and former diplomat extraordinaire. Does the West face a crisis of confidence?

Then: The race to dominate the field of artificial intelligence has begun. Kai-Fu Lee, author of AI Superpowers and former head of Google China, explains why China just might be winning.

Also: Bestselling author Michael Lewis (Moneyball, Liar's Poker, The Blind Side) comes on to discuss his new book, The Fifth Risk. He details what's been happening under President Trump at the other government agencies – the ones you haven't heard about. Lewis calls it the "de-professionalization of the civil service."
