David Brown discusses his experiences as a journalist, world economics, and the complexities of producing a business news magazine like Public Radio International's Marketplace. A true Renaissance man, Marketplace host David Brown is a motorcycle-loving, history-reading, Southern-born gentleman who believes that Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America should be required reading for all citizens. An enigmatic and multifaceted individual, he would love to have had the opportunity to interview T.E. Lawrence, and believes that journalists have the honor and heavy responsibility of writing the first draft of history. Brown is also one of public radio's most highly respected and broadly experienced hosts and producers. He joined Marketplace in the fall of 2000 as senior producer.
