Forbes Media’s Chairman and Editor-in-Chief is Steve Forbes.
Steve’s newest project is the podcast “What’s Ahead,” in which he interviews the world’s top newsmakers, politicians, and business and economics pioneers in open and honest conversations that challenge conventional wisdom while also featuring Steve’s signature views on the intersection of society, economics, and policy.
In Money We Trust?, a highly acclaimed public television documentary produced under the auspices of Maryland Public Television, was one of Steve’s contributions. Money: How the Destruction of the Dollar Threatens the Global Economy – and What We Can Do About It, a book he co-authored, provided the inspiration for the film.
Reviving America: How Repealing Obamacare, Replacing the Tax Code, and Reforming the Fed Will Restore Hope and Prosperity, co-authored with Elizabeth Ames, is Steve’s most recent book (McGraw-Hill Professional).
Under the heading “Fact and Comment,” Steve writes editorials for each issue of Forbes. He is the only writer to have won the renowned Crystal Owl Award four times, and he is a nationally respected economic forecaster. U.S. Steel Corporation previously awarded the honor to the financial writer whose economic estimates for the future year proved to be the most accurate.
Steve campaigned hard for the Republican presidential nomination in both 1996 and 2000. A flat tax, medical savings accounts, a revamped Social Security system for working Americans, parental choice of schools for their children, term limits, and a strong national military were all important parts of his agenda. Steve continues to pursue this agenda with vigour./n
