Steve Forbes also returns to discuss his new book: "Freedom Manifesto: Why Free Markets Are Moral And Big Government Isn't."

Forbes is chairman and editor-in-chief of Forbes Media. In 1996 he entered the new media arena with the launch of Forbes.com. Now averaging 18 million unique monthly visitors, it has become a leading destination site for senior business decision-makers and investors.  Other Forbes websites are: ForbesWoman.com; RealClearPolitics.com; RealClearMarkets.com; RealClearSports.com and RealClearWorld.com. Altogether, these sites reach nearly 20 million business decision-makers each month.

The company’s flagship publication, Forbes, is the nation’s leading business magazine, with a circulation of more than 900,000. Forbes combined with Forbes Asia and the company's licensee editions together reach a worldwide audience of more than 6 million readers.  The circulation of Forbes international editions is 590,500.

Mr. Forbes writes editorials for each issue of Forbes, and has authored several books.

In both 1996 and 2000, Mr. Forbes campaigned vigorously for the Republican nomination for the presidency.  Key to his platform were a flat tax, medical savings accounts, a new Social Security system for working Americans, parental choice of schools for their children, term limits and a strong national defense.  He continues to energetically promote this agenda.
