Steve Forbes: Gold Does Not Ensure Against Mistakes By Government

www.forbes.com

Money is a crucial part of our society and often a dominating concern, but what exactly is money? And why do we know so little about it?

In this edition of Up To Date, Steve Kraske talks with Steve Forbes, the chairman and editor-in-chief of Forbes Media. Forbes advocates for a return to the gold standard and explains why policy makers are dangerously ignorant of fundamental monetary principles.

Guest:

  • Steve Forbes is the author of Money: How the Destruction of the Dollar Threatens the Global Economy--and What We Can Do About It

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers. Reach me at steve@kcur.org or on Twitter @stevekraske.
As senior producer of Up To Date, I want our listeners to hear familiar and new voices that shine light on the issues and challenges facing the myriad communities KCUR serves, and to expose our audiences to the wonderful and the creative in the Kansas City area. Just as important to me is an obligation to mentor the next generation of producers to ensure that the important conversations continue. Reach me at alexanderdk@kcur.org.
