Title: Countdown to reform
First published: 1998
Description: Will the baby boomers' retirement cause Social Security to collapse? Would benefits be larger and safer if Social Security were "privatized" by scrapping the current system in favor of individually owned private accounts? Who would gain and who would lose from the various reform plans now under discussion?

In this book, two of the nation's most widely respected economists argue that the Chicken Little view, that future costs doom the current system, is exaggerated. They thoughtfully analyze various proposals for "saving" Social Security and present their own recommendations for reform.
