The Promise of Private Pensions

“Stephen Sass tells his complex story well… His institutional account is richly documented with archival materials and interviews with key actors in the arena… With The Promise of Private Pensions, economic and social historians as well as gerontologists now have a case study of US institutions that is a worthy complement to Leslie Hannah’s Inventing Retirement: The Development of Occupational Pensions in Britain.”—W. Andrew Achenbaum, American Studies [UK]
