Social Security and the Middle-Class Squeeze: Fact and Fiction about America`s Entitlement Programs

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: At the outset of his second term, President Bush`s proposal to partially privatize Social Security has touched off a debate of enormous proportion. Disentangling the rhetoric and hyperbole from fact is essential for anyone trying to evaluate the potential merits or pitfalls of the plan. Leonard and Mark Santow--a father-and-son team who integrate two different political viewpoints (fiscally conservative and socially liberal, respectively)--offer specific recommendations for improving Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid in socially responsible ways that relieve some of the stress on the middle class and promote upward mobility. Explaining sophisticated economic concepts in layman`s terms, the Santows expose myths about how entitlement programs actually work, arguing, for example, that while the financial state of Social Security gets most of the press, Medicare and Medicaid are in much more serious trouble. They integrate conservative and liberal viewponts to propose a package of… [detailed...]

Social Security, Demographics, and Risk (Population Economics)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis volume addresses the most important issues of the ongoing discussion on designing social security. It provides fundamental results for pay-as-you-go social security, covers the issues of social security during demographic transition and examines the inclusion of risk aspects into the analysis of social security. An empirical case study of Germany yields the surprising result that de facto the German public pension scheme already comprises an implicit demographic factor. This book allows a subtle understanding of how interacting risks are treated within different pension systems and thereby provides a basis for the development of innovative ways of risk sharing.

Social Security: False Consciousness and Crisis

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Despite two decades of warnings about Social Security`s projected bankruptcy, nothing is being done. The saying that Social Security is the third rail of American politics--touch it and you die--still holds true. This critical history argues that a majorcause of the impasse is the misleading manner in which Social Security was depicted to the public, and the beliefs about the program which prevail as a result. Most Americans see Social Security as retirement insurance, whereby taxpayers pay premiumsor contributions which are held in trust in a trust fund to pay guaranteed benefits which will be theirs `as a matter of earned right,` as America keeps a `compact between the generations.` Unfortunately, the entire foregoing description is false. Attarian demonstrates that Social Security`s officials and partisans deliberately fostered this false picture while downplaying the power of Congress to cut or eliminate benefits, and that the payroll tax mechanism of financing was done in… [detailed...]

Description: Is it true that the Social Security system is in serious trouble and must be repaired? As baby boomers begin to retire, will they inevitably, by force of their sheer numbers, bankrupt the system? Is Social Security a big Ponzi scheme that will leavefuture generations with little to show for their lifetime of contributions? Is the only way to solve the Social Security crisis through radical changes like privatization or bolstering it with massive new taxes? According to the authors of this important new study, the answer to these questions is a resounding no. In Social Security: The Phony Crisis , economists Dean Baker and Mark Weisbrot argue that there is no economic, demographic, or actuarial basis for the widespread belief that the program needs to be fixed. As the authors emphasize, there is virtually no disagreement about the facts of Social Security`s finances, or even the projections for its future. Rather, the Social Security debate has been foundering… [detailed...]

Social Strategy and Corporate Structure (Program for Studies of the Modern Corporation)

Description: This new work by Neil W. Chamberlain will be of great importance to the business community -- and to all those charged with defining the role large corporations play in the affairs of society. Social Strategy and Corporate Structure is an objective, indepth examination of the organizational requirements of a social role for large-scale business. The role Neil Chamberlain presents is one of heroic dimensions: the political choice of goals, the strategic allocation of resources, and the tactical operations of the mechanisms of production. While there has been much discussion of corporate social responsibility, few have investigated the ways its structure will have to change if the corporation is to pursue a strategy that is both economicand social. This timely book integrates a large number of issues involving corporate activities and governance that go directly to the heart of this problem. In step-by-step detail, Chamberlain analyzes the organizational… [detailed...]

Social Structures: Demographic Changes and the Well-Being of Older Persons

2007 y.
Publisher: Springer Publishing Company
Description: Significant demographic changes are altering the structure of the American population. Larger numbers of immigrants are entering the work force, will become part of our aging population, and increasingly, are providing care for the elderly. Family structures and communities are evolving as marriage, childbearing, divorce, and cohabitation trends are changing. The working population that supports the elderly, physically and economically, is also changing and will most likely become smaller and less able to support this growing population. What does this mean for the well-being of our aging population and our efforts to ensure the quality of life for our elderly now and that we will want to enjoy ourselves as we become part of this older population? In this volume Drs. Schaie and Uhlenberg and a host of leading scholars look at the current structure of the American population in an effort to determine the impact it will have on the lives of the elderly and… [detailed...]

Until now, the only solution offered to people that learned what was going on behind the mass media smoke-screen was to `tell others about it` or `write your congressman`. These actions alone will not avert the impending social disaster. Now, the basic nuts and bolts of the practical measures everyone can take to replace the existing dysfunctional social systems are laid out for anyone to employ. [detailed...]
