by Steve Forbes
First published 2015
Steve Forbes diagnoses America's economic troubles and prescribes bold remedies. The Forbes Media Chairman argues that destructive policies, a broken tax system, and Federal Reserve mismanagement have derailed the country. His solution centers on three reforms. First, patient-driven healthcare that removes control from government, insurers, and employers while expanding competition and choice. Second, a flat tax system that would eliminate the current complex code and reduce IRS power. Third, a return to sound money by linking the dollar's value to gold rather than allowing Federal Reserve manipulation. Forbes contends these changes would unleash entrepreneurial energy and restore the optimism that built America. He provides specific policy proposals rather than vague concepts, challenging leaders to adopt concrete solutions for twenty-first century problems.
