Blackburn, R: Age Shock and Pension Power How Finance is Failing Us

Praise for Banking on Death: "Blackburn's views seem to me refreshing ... [He] acknowledges that there are real strains on the old welfare state and proposes interesting ways to handle them that do not resort to simplistic formulas of privatization." -- Jeff Madrick, New York Review of Books "... required reading for all those interested in the pensions industry. That is, all of us." -- Barry Marshall, Public Service Review: Finance "One of the best books I have read on pension funds." -- Independent "Blackburn is particularly good at disentangling the different dynamics that make the pensions problem so intractable for mature, ageing economies." -- Sir Howard Davis, Director, FSA, Guardian
