Steve Forbes: What's Ahead

S1E22: Can a Return to Common Sense Save Our Democracy: Philip Howard


Listen Later

First up, Steve speaks to an array of issues including the intensification of the conflict in Hong Kong, the Federal Reserve and consumer spending and confidence.

Then, Philip Howard, author of the new blockbuster book Try Common Sense: Replacing the Failed Ideologies of Right and Left, sits down with Steve to explain why the never-ending avalanche of literally millions of usually-unnecessary, nitpicking rules from Washington and local governments, since the 1960s, is undermining our democracy. Americans rightly feel they have lost control over so much of their lives and that elections don’t make much difference. Both parties are at fault. Howard then lays out the exciting remedies to get our country back in the hands of We the People. 

Lastly, Steve’s “Reads of the Weeks” consist of four articles. They are: "A Hundred Year Treasury? " by the Wall Street Journal editorial board, "Argentina Needs The Dollar” by Mary Anastasia O’Grady, “Europe Does Not Exist” by Josef Joffe and Steve celebrates the 100th birthday of his late father, Malcolm Forbes, with his piece “A Matchless Man”.
