SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Details the history and development of the American system of Social Security and examines the serious problems it faces. Covers the "prehistory" of Social Security dating back to the 19th century and projects the program's likely future over the next several generations. Thematically, chronicles the origination of the initial Social Security Act of 1935, each major reform to the Act through today, the nature and magnitude of the current difficulty facing Social Security, and each major remedy that has been proposed. Also examines programs in other nations and how they have attempted to address similar problems.--From publisher description.
