Overview

In this comprehensive examination of America's social security system, economist-lawyer Peter J. Ferrara offers a thorough and solid brief against maintaining the present system. He presents conclusive evidence that social security has been sold to the American people by deceit and misrepresentation and that the social security system's financial troubles, far from being ameliorated by recent tax increases, are getting worse by the day because of the demographics of population growth. He analyzes, and finds wanting, the rationales for the system made by some of America's leading economists and social security officials. But this book is not all negatives. After laying a careful groundwork of statistical fact that indicts social security -- most of it gathered from the Social Security Administration itself -- Ferrara explores the more important philosophical questions that a social security apparatus necessarily raises for a free society and then confronts the ultimate question: Should there be a social security system in America's future?
