| Sommario/riassunto: | "Savings and wealth accumulation are important dimensions of research and policy debates. In the collection of critical surveys presented in this edited volume, the reader is provided with a range of up-to-date work from some of the leading scholars in the area, writing on private and public sector aspects of savings and wealth accumulation. The volume discusses the measurement of genuine savings and sustainability, the estimation of wealth inequality, recent developments in consumer credit and defaults, the impact of student loans on financial well-being, people's retirement decisions, and the impact of pension reform. It considers the distribution of wealth across generations and the importance of accurately measuring government debt, the rise of sovereign wealth funds and Islamic banking and finance. The collection will be of interest to academics, governments and policy makers, industrialists and anyone interested in critical insights into savings and wealth accumulation"-- |
