• Sommario/riassunto: John Turner uses the documented experiences of many countries-including the U.K., Sweden, Chile, Australia, Canada, and others-and the tools of economics to analyze the public policy issues surrounding the proposed implementation of individual accounts as part of the U.S. Social Security system. The result is a book that clarifies these issues while offering direction to Social Security policymakers. Also included is a comprehensive overview of the types of defined contribution plans in use today.
