Polls show people on both sides of the ideological divide believe that the country has gone off track. If something isn't done quickly, Americans face a bleak future--continuing decline and disarray in a world that grows ever more dangerous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteve Forbes, two-time candidate for the GOP presidential nomination and Forbes Media Chairman, explains how today's malaise has been caused by years of Obama's destructive policies, a broken tax system, and the Federal Reserve's Soviet-style controls over credit and money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe problems are challenging. But Forbes tells us that, with the right policies, the country can bounce back faster than people think. In this compelling and much-needed book, he sets forth a three-part plan to revive America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatient-Driven Healthcare: \u003c\/b\u003e The problem with healthcare, Forbes says, is that Big Government, health insurance companies, and employers are in control, not you, the patient. The key to getting high-quality, affordable healthcare is increasing competition and choice, and putting patients in charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnact a Flat Tax: \u003c\/b\u003e Today's complex, corrupt tax code must be scrapped. The best answer is a simple Flat Tax. Forbes shows how this very bold reform would free America from the IRS and unleash an unprecedented wave of prosperity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Sound Dollar as Good as Gold: \u003c\/b\u003e With its ever-fluctuating \"fiat\" dollar, the Federal Reserve has blocked a real recovery and is the prime cause of today's stagnant, crisis-ridden economy. The answer? Take the dollar out of the hands of the Washington politicians by returning to a monetary system with the value of the dollar linked to gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear and vital guide, \u003ci\u003eReviving America\u003c\/i\u003e shows how the United States can recover the optimism and entrepreneurial dynamism that made it the greatest nation in history. These are 21st century solutions--not the failed ideas of the recent past. Forbes offers specific ideas and plans, not generalities and bromides, and is challenging policy makers to do the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve Forbes\u003c\/b\u003e is Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe company encompasses \u003ci\u003eForbesLife, Forbes Europe, Forbes Asia\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eForbes\u003c\/i\u003e licensee editions published in over 37 countries.

The prize was formerly given by U.S. Steel Corporation to the financial journalist whose economic forecasts for the coming year proved most accurate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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. Mr. Forbes continues to energetically promote this agenda.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr. Forbes' book, \u003ci\u003eMoney: How the Destruction of the Dollar Threatens the Global Economy - and What We Can Do About It\u003c\/i\u003e, co-authored by Elizabeth Ames (McGraw-Hill Professional), was published in June 2014 and received the coveted Leonard E.
