While America Aged

In While America Aged, bestselling author Roger Lowenstein explains how corporations and governments ran up ruinous pension and health-care promises to workers-promises that are now coming due and that will hit America like a tsunami if nothing is done.

Negotiating high benefits means gambling with future finances-and when the farm gets sold out from underneath major corporations or public institutions, it affects all of us, and in ways we might not imagine.

With his trademark narrative panache, Lowenstein unravels the truth about how pensions work in America and illuminates the impending crisis.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

" Financial journalist Roger Lowenstein uses the stories of three deeply encumbered institutions . . . as examples not only of the way most individual Americans conduct their personal finances, but also of how the country as a whole has long lived beyond its means. . . . Gripping."
-Phillip Longman, The Washington Post
