Although social security is facing enormous fiscal pressure in the face of an aging population, there has been relatively little published on the fundamentals of essential reform through privatization. Privatizing Social Security fills this void by studying the methods and problems involved in shifting from the current system to one based on mandatory saving in individual accounts. "Timely and important. . . . [Privatizing Social Security] presents a forceful case for a radical shift from the existing unfunded, pay-as-you-go single national program to a mandatory funded program with individual savings accounts. . . . An extensive analysis of how a privatized plan would work in the United States is supplemented with the experiences of five other countries that have privatized plans." -Library Journal "[A] high-powered collection of essays by top experts in the field."-Timothy Taylor, Public Interest 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research project report. 606 $aPension trusts$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aPension trusts$zUnited States 606 $aSocial security individual investment accounts$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPension trusts 615 0$aPension trusts 615 0$aSocial security individual investment accounts 676 $a332.67/254 701 $aFeldstein$b Martin S$088785 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451292603321 996 $aPrivatizing social security$92125332 997 $aUNINA
