On GPS this Sunday at 10am and 1pm EST: In light of Mitt Romney’s role at Bain Capital, we take a rare look inside the world of “private equity.” What is this industry? How does it make so much money? Is it really all about firing workers?

Will the U.S. and/or Israel bomb Iran? What happens to Pakistan? How will the Arab Spring unfold? What of the euro's fate? And who will be the next President of the United States of America?

On Fareed Zakaria GPS this week, the focus is on Iran. The latest IAEA report makes the nuclear watchdog’s strongest claims yet that Tehran may be pursuing nuclear weapons technology.

On Fareed Zakaria GPS this Sunday, new and deeply worrying concerns about the safety of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons. An explosive article in the Atlantic makes the case that Pakistan is moving about its nuclear materials in unsecured vans to prevent Washington from swooping on them, a-la the Osama bin Laden raid. But in doing so, those nukes are now more vulnerable to terrorists. Fareed Zakaria gets the story from the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg.
What is Pakistan’s response? As the former President and Army Chief for nearly a decade, Pervez Musharraf is uniquely placed to shed light on these allegations.
All that, plus interviews with billionaire Bill Gates and Education Secretary Arne Duncan on how to fix America’s education system.
On Fareed Zakaria GPS this Sunday, a fiery, must-see debate on the economy. Harvard’s Niall Ferguson locks horns with Columbia’s Jeff Sachs on Occupy Wall Street, the macro-economy and the first signs of good news from Europe.
Also this week: Fareed’s thoughts on his recent trip to Tehran – why President Obama has the wrong policy toward Iran. And, French philosopher Bernard Henri-Levy on a post-Gadhafi Libya, followed by Moneyball author Michael Lewis on what business can learn from… baseball.
The show airs Sunday at 10a and 1pET.
Jeff Sachs on the euro deal (video above)
Jeffrey Sachs: I think the euro is going to survive. And I think they took steps forward. And I think that they're going to let the euro fall down. So the divisions between Northern Europe and Southern Europe are real and serious. And I think they could be doing better than dancing at the edge, which is where they've been operating for more than two years. But they made progress this time around and there still, in fact, are a lot of details to be worked out in this agreement.
I do think that it shows that each time, when push comes to shove, they do step forward and they do get their act together to preserve the common currency. FULL POST
