The People's Pension - Eric Laursen

The People's Pension covers a period of Social Security history that no one else has covered, let alone in so much depth, and it presents a unique interpretation of why the politics of Social Security have played out as they have since the Reagan years.Slated to release in April 2012, The People's Pension will make its appearance in the midst of the presidential primaries, when Social Security will undoubtedly be a major issue. The fate of Social Security has been in question for years now, and with the recent threat that checks might not be going out in August, the fear of scrapping the program altogether seems increasingly plausible.Written in a clear, accessible style, The People's Pension will be of interest to every working American who worries about their future with Social Security, as well as political or social policy analysts and scholars, anarchists and left libertarians, grassroots activists, labor organizers, progressive lawmakers committed to defending Social Security, anyone interested in the history of the U.S. from the Reagan era on, and conservative and center-right opponents of Social Security.
