More quotes by Fareed Zakaria
Politics and power is a realm of relative influence.
Fareed Zakaria
CNN is getting smarter, and you can feel it in the stories, you can feel it in the depth with which they're covered, the kinds of people in terms of guests who are brought on air, the way in which issues are discussed.
Fareed Zakaria
In the 1990s, we were certain that Saddam Hussein had a nuclear arsenal. In fact, his factories could barely make soap.
Fareed Zakaria
I'd be kidding if I said that I predicted the financial collapse.
Fareed Zakaria
But now, we are becoming suspicious of the very things we have long celebrated - free markets, trade, immigration, and technological change. And all this is happening when the tide is going our way. Just as the world is opening up, America is closing down.
Fareed Zakaria
I should not be judged by a standard that's not applied to everyone else.
Fareed Zakaria
I very much want to be in the business of creating content, of doing stories all over the world rather than figuring out what the business model is for 'Newsweek' on the iPad, although that's very important work as well.
Fareed Zakaria

Fareed Zakaria
Having your fiscal house in order and having a more manageable macro-economic future is going to be very useful in creating growth.
Fareed Zakaria
If envy were the cause of terrorism, Beverly Hills [and] Fifth Avenue ... would have become targets long ago.
Fareed Zakaria
Generations from now, when historians write about these times, they might note that, in the early decades of the twenty-first century, the United States succeeded in its great and historic mission--it globalized the world. But along the way, they might write, it forgot to globalize itself.
Fareed Zakaria
If we didn't have the rest of the world growing, the United States economy would be in much worse shape than it is today.
Fareed Zakaria
It's not possible for two countries to be the leading dominant political power at the same time.
Fareed Zakaria
American influence is not what it used to be.
Fareed Zakaria
If a senator calls me up and asks me what should we do in Iraq, I'm happy to talk to him.
Fareed Zakaria
In a world awash in debt, power shifts to creditors.
Fareed Zakaria
The United States needs serious change in its fiscal, entitlement, infrastructure, immigration, and education policies, among others. And yet a polarized and often paralyzed Washington has pushed dealing with these problems off into the future, which will only make them more difficult and expensive to solve.
Fareed Zakaria
Some have said that the clash between Catholicism and Protestantism illustrates the old maxim that religious freedom is the product of two equally pernicious fanaticisms, each cancelling the other out.
Fareed Zakaria
The great drama of Russian history has been between its state and society. Put simply, Russia has always had too much state and not enough society.
Fareed Zakaria
America's growth historically has been fueled mostly by investment, education, productivity, innovation and immigration. The one thing that doesn't seem to have anything to do with America's growth rate is a brutal work schedule.
