JAMES RUSSELL discusses his book, Social Insecurity. Free and open to the public.
A retirement crisis is looming. In 2008, as the 401(k) fallout rippled across the country, holders watched 25% of their funds evaporate. But before the recession, signs were mounting that few people could accumulate enough wealth for a secure retirement. James Russell explains that this do-it-yourself system isn’t working. Social Insecurity details a massive retirement robbery transferring wealth from everyday workers to Wall Street financiers via hidden fees. Enraging yet hopeful, Russell offers concrete ideas on how individuals and society can arrest this downward spiral.
Certain books were “banned in Boston” at least as far back as 1651, when one William Pynchon wrote a book criticizing Puritanism.
