This is an extraordinarily important, very well-written and thoroughly researched book. It is probably also the most insightful pension book of the decade. Zelinsky is exactly right when he says that there has been a paradigm shift from traditional defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans. Of special note, this book is technically stout: Zelinsky discusses all of the important ideas relating to pensions and cites virtually all of the key literature. -Jonathan Barry FormanAlfred P. Murrah Professor of Law, University of Oklahoma College of Law By placing the current trend away from defined benefit arrangements and toward defined contribution arrangements in a broader context, Zelinsky has enriched the debate and has provided much food for thought to all those interested in the challenge of retirement planning in an aging society. This book will help frame a more productive debate about how best to improve retirement planning arrangements over the next two or three decades. --David Pratt, Professor of Law, Albany Law School Scholars who write and teach more broadly in the labor and employment field will certainly find the book an instructive and useful one. --Susan J. Stabile, Dean George W.
