A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

“An ambitious recasting of pensions strategy for an aging society.”—Göran Therborn, New Left Review

“An impressive book ... Blackburn argues that the hard-won state systems and the private pensions that supplement them have come under threat.”—New York Review of Books

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Most countries face the future with an ageing population, yet most governments are cutting back on pensions and the care services needed by the elderly. Robin Blackburn exposes the perverse reasoning and special interests which have combined to produce this nonsensical state of affairs. This updated paperback edition of Age Shock includes a new preface explaining why the credit crunch and eurozone crisis have had such a devastating impact and outlining a way to guarantee decent pensions and care provision.
