Steve Forbes, chief executive of Forbes, told CNBC that solving the global economic crisis will require a more than the rate cuts.

First and foremost? Hank Paulson and the Treasury should act quickly to end the mark-to-market "nonsense."

"Then you don't have to worry about more unnecessary disasters like Lehman Bros. [LEHMQ  Loading...      ()   ] and AIG [AIG  Loading...      ()   ]," Forbes said.
