I had the opportunity to interview Steve Forbes while co-hosting a local radio talk show. I was impressed with his knowledge and ability to distinctly express basic principles of our economy. While it is frustrating to see so many, who do not have the knowledge of basic economics, gaining popularity, it is refreshing to read the writings of Steve Forbes. How Capitalism Will Save Us provides straight answers to difficult, politicized questions of today. I wish everyone would purchase a copy of Mr. Forbes books so that the masses would have a better understanding of basic Macro economics. Here are some excerpts from the first chapter of the book:

"But there's more to today's rage than cultural ambivalence. The truth is that a surprising number of people simply don't understand how our economy works. Many of us are remarkably uninformed about the system that produced our prosperity."

We've written this book as an informal conversation, the kind of discussion of hot-button topics that you might have at the dinner table or in the classroom."

I know that most small business owners are usually looking for a book on attracting customers are how to do your taxes, but it has been my experience that most small businesses fail because they do not understand the simple principles of economics. That is why I would recommend this book to everyone who has a desire to enter the business world whether or not you agree with Steve Forbes' political opinions. Mr. Forbes demonstrates we should not feel guilty about making a profit but in fact should feel good about our contribution to society.
