Description

This comprehensive book by Max J. Skidmore examines the history and foundational principles of America's Social Security system, offering a detailed analysis of why the programme remains financially sound despite decades of criticism. The author documents the sustained opposition to social insurance that has persisted since the Social Security Act of 1935, tracing how this covert war against the system intensified over time. Published by Routledge, this work provides readers with essential context for understanding both the origins of this vital insurance programme and the ideological battles that have surrounded it throughout its existence, making it invaluable for anyone seeking to understand the political and economic forces shaping America's most significant social insurance initiative.

Analyses the financial soundness of America's Social Security system with detailed economic reasoning.

Documents the covert opposition movement against social insurance throughout the programme's existence.
