Publisher's noteA call-to-action evaluation of the economic dangers being posed by the retiring generation's pensions and health-care needs offers sobering insight into how pensions work in America and why they are threatening major companies and public institutions, in an account that is complemented by the stories of key historical precedents and what the author believes may be a possible solution. AnnotationBusiness writer Roger Lowenstein addresses the compellingly urgent issue of pensions in America, as he presents case studies of how overly generous (and, in his view, foolhardy) contracts locked employers in to promises that cannot reasonably be fulfilled. Lowenstein presents case studies of private and public pension systems--the auto workers and New York City employees, respectively--and how one crisis, in San Diego, actually brought about a near collapse of the municipal system. He presents fresh ideas on how to head off a looming crisis in cities across America while still meeting the needs of retirees. If You Enjoy "While America Aged (Hardcover)", May We Also Recommend:
