Housing and Welfare in Southern Europe
ISBN: 9781405103077 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9781412804912 / Angielski / Miękka / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of today's most important national concerns is the projected bankruptcy of Social Security some time in the next few decades and the resultant inability to pay full benefits on time.

In Social Security, now in paperback, John Attarian argues that the major cause of this impasse has been the misleading manner in which the program has been depicted to the public, and the beliefs about...
