MONTREAL, March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The recent global economic crisis was an opportunity for many to blame capitalism for the problems with financial derivatives. Steve Forbes, John Allison, Larry Reed and Michael Fairbanks were quick to answer these criticisms and to share their profound convictions regarding the virtues of the free market. These four public figures are among the guests of the Free Markets Series presented in 2012 as a part of The World Show, broadcast on PBS affiliate stations.
