Recenzje

'Macnicol takes on a difficult set of issues in the retirement and pension literature and does an exceptional job of presenting and defending his critique of the current neoliberal consensus with respect to the viable options for dealing with the projected pension costs associated with the retirement of the baby boomers and population aging more generally in the UK and the USA.' John B. Williamson, Boston College, Massachusetts
