Social Security: False Consciousness and Crisis
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. It has been said that Social Security is the third rail of American politics-touch it and you die. Consequently, it took over two decades of warnings before it was established as a major domestic concern. 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...

Social Security in Transition
ISBN: 9789041119698 / Angielski / Twarda / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There was a time when it was clear what risks social security policy was meant to protect: unemployment, sickness, and occupational disability. For many decades, although true equity remained elusive, a focus on these 'external' risks seemed to be enough. It is to the credit of more recent policy that such previously 'hidden' but all-important matters as excluded minorities, inadequate income, and obstacles to personal development are now on the agenda. Yet, with the globalization of the economy, new and unprecedented risks proliferate, most of them being of the 'manufactured' kind that stem...
