Critics Review

‘The ambitious goal of this edited collection is to synthesize many of the lessons learned from previous reforms as well as to summarize the expertise on those issues that is most critical to pension reform: political design of pension policy, fiscal deficits and private savings in pension reform, and the macroeconomic effects of pensions. An introductory chapter provides a nice overview of the key issues, and as a whole the quality of contributions is quite high. Thus, this book is an excellent resource of policy-makers and specialists … a good way of becoming acquainted with the area.’ Economica
