In this timely work, former senator George McGovern, one of our greatest living political thinkers, argues that Social Security is not currently facing a crisis. Instead, McGovern discusses ways that we can maintain this program well into the future with just a few simple steps. More significantly, McGovern shows that when properly secured, aging Americans who are often seen as the source of any alleged Social Security crisis are actually one of our country's greatest assets. In keeping with his reputation as a visionary and politician for the youth of America, McGovern proposes the creation of a partnership across generations, one that will not only keep our most important of social insurance benefits intact, but will also provide many advantages to those over 65 and those who have much to learn from them. A work of insight that will resonate both with young and old Americans, McGoverns book forces us to look at the wonderful benefits of our new demographics.
