Synopsis
Attarian (Mackinac Center for Public Policy, Midland, Michigan) contends that the misleading way in which the American Social Security program has been depicted to the public since its origins in 1935 has resulted in a false consciousness about the system. He argues that the system is on the brink of crisis, and that for effective reform to take place the development and propagation of the false depiction must be addressed. He critiques current reform options, identifying their serious flaws, and then outlines an alternative proposal for social security reform. Useful for policymakers as well as the motivated general reader. Annotation c. Book News, Inc.,Portland, OR
