King World News Interviews John Williams of Shadow Stats

Walter J. "John" Williams - Founder of Shadow Government Statistics Newsletter and Specialized Economic Consulting Services: Analysis Behind and Beyond Government Economic Reporting. During his career as a consulting economist, John has worked with individuals as well as Fortune 500 companies. John began a lengthy process of exploring the history and nature of economic reporting and in interviewing key people involved in the process from the early days of government reporting through the present. For a number of years he conducted surveys among business economists as to the quality of government statistics (the vast majority thought it was pretty bad), and his results led to considerable coverage in broadcast / print media and meeting with representatives of all the gov’s statistical agencies.
