Non-Fiction

The debate over Social Security reform continues, but few participants ask one basic question: does Social Security really need to be reformed? This eloquent, sophisticated book smashes away the rhetoric of the Social Security "crisis" to answer with a resounding "no," offering a clear and compelling defense of a system that's not nearly as troubled as many would have us think.
