In this revised version of Henry J. Aaron and Robert D. Reischauer’s 1998 study, the authors undertake an authoritative and comprehensive examination of Social Security’s strengths and weaknesses and assess recently developed reform proposals. These highly respected economists argue that the “Chicken Little” view of Social Security—that future costs doom the current system—is exaggerated. They present thoughtful analyses of major proposals for “saving” Social Security, including the Archer-Shaw, Gramm-Domenici, Breaux-Gregg and George W. Bush plans, and make recommendations for sensible reform.
