While America Aged

Michael McConnohie delivers a historical examination of Social Security and corporate pensions in a strong, straightforward manner. The rising crisis surrounding aging populations whose previous employers have promised more than they can deliver means current taxpayers should beware as pension providers fail to make good. McConnohie's resonant, authoritative tone comes to the aid of the text, which is filled with intricate explanations and minute details of the looming fiscal crisis. The natural pace of his narration moves forward the three case studies involving a trade union, retiree healthcare, and the fiscal irresponsibility of the city of San Diego. M.R.
