Retooling Social Security for the 21st Century sheds light on the raging Social Security debate. Even if solvent, Social Security needs reform because health, longevity, work, and migration patterns are changing. Seize the fiscal crisis as an opportunity to respond to these changing patterns, the authors say. Develop a blueprint that identifies the right reforms―those that achieve fiscal balance and increase Social Security's responsiveness to today's and tomorrow's needs.
Praise for Retooling Social Security for the 21st Century
"An excellent analysis of the Social Security system. Path-breaking in its recommendations. A highly useful guide to reform whatever one's political convictions."
― Stanford G. Ross, Social Security Commissioner, 1978–1979
