Reviews

`Review from previous edition Here is the best guide to the turmoil into which European pensions are being plunged. At last, a book that provocatively recasts the debate, written by first-class experts, who expose the complex political and financial dimensions of an issue that, in the long run, is central to all of us in later life.' Rt. Hon. Frank Field , Member of the UK Parliament, Chairman of the Pensions Reform Group
