Solid Book

I recommend this book to students all of the time, and it is still extremely relevant. It is relevant because it addresses issues pertaining to the current debate about social security. It does so from the vantage point of concern for the future outlook of social security for younger generations. I really appreciate the history in the book because it contextualizes the debate over social security reform. I learned a great deal from Morris' work.
