The retirement challenge : what's wrong with America's system and a sensible way to fix it / Martin Neil Baily, Benjamin H. Harris.

Summary:

"We need a new retirement paradigm as private pensions disappear. Families must take more responsibility for their retirement by saving consistently, working long enough to accumulate enough savings, and spending their savings at an appropriate rate in retirement. Families cannot build a secure retirement by themselves, however; they need help from government and employers. This book discusses the strengths and weaknesses of our current retirement system and suggests feasible, sensible reforms to make it much better"-- Provided by publisher.
