To insert some calm to the shrill debate and facts into the speculations and warnings, Peterson (economics, U. of Nebraska-Lincoln) sets out an account of what Social Security is, what the problems are, how they came about, and what solutions are being proposed. He taps the views of different generations and explains arguments for and against proposed reforms. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
