Steve Forbes


Chairman and Editor-in-Chief, Forbes Media


Steve Forbes is Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Media.

Steve’s newest project is his podcast called, What’s Ahead, where he engages the world’s top newsmakers, politicians and pioneers in business and economics in honest conversations meant to challenge traditional conventions, as well as featuring his signature views on the intersection of society, economy, and policy.

Steve helped create the recently released and highly acclaimed public television documentary, In Money We Trust? which was produced under the auspices of Maryland Public television. The film was inspired by the book he co-authored, called, Money: How the Destruction of the Dollar Threatens the Global Economy – and What We Can Do About It.

Steve’s latest book is Reviving America: How Repealing Obamacare, Replacing the Tax Code and Reforming The Fed will Restore Hope and Prosperity, co-authored by Elizabeth Ames (McGraw-Hill Professional).

Steve writes editorials for each issue of Forbes under the heading of “Fact and Comment.” As a widely respected economic prognosticator, he is the only writer to have won the highly prestigious Crystal Owl Award four times. The prize was formerly given by the U.S. Steel Corporation to the financial journalist whose economic forecasts for the coming year proved most accurate.

In both 1996 and 2000, Steve campaigned vigorously for the Republican nomination for the Presidency. Key to his platform was introducing 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. Steve continues to energetically promote this agenda.
