Fareed Zakaria GPS

On GPS this week: Despite wars, economic crises, and freak weather events, we should still be positive about the progress the world is making, argues Bill Gates in a wide-ranging interview on global disease, education, technology and more.
"Innovation has been underestimated today more than any time in history,” says Gates. “I mean, we had the Internet bubble, where it was actually briefly overestimated. That was kind of uncomfortable, I think. But it's strange to be in such a funk because people look at political roadblocks and some of them, the way these numbers measure things, they aren’t getting a sense of the progress in the rich world and in the developing world.”
Then, Fareed speaks with the only man to win an Oscar, a Grammy, an Emmy, and a Nobel Prize: Al Gore . The former U.S. vice president talks gun control, U.S. politics and climate change
And in What in the World: Why a major African country found itself with only $217 in its government bank account.
Up w/Chris Hayes
The Hagel hearings, the new GOP, Stiglitz on inequality
On Sunday’s Up w/ Chris Hayes, we’ll discuss the demagoguery and bullying on display at the confirmation hearing for former Sen. Chuck Hagel, Republican of Nebraska and President Obama’s nominee for secretary of defense. Then we’ll examine whether there’s been a genuine shift within the Republican establishment since the presidential election on issues like immigration reform, and what that portends for Washington’s ability to function in President Obama’s second term. And finally, we’ll examine the state of the economic recovery — an issue that has been oddly and frustratingly absent from our national political discourse. Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz will be here to talk about how inequality not only corrodes political institutions, but also restrains economic growth as well
