"Is it true that the Social Security system is in serious trouble and must be repaired? As baby boomers begin to retire, will they inevitably, by force of their sheer numbers, bankrupt the system? Is Social Security a big Ponzi scheme that will leave future generations with little to show for their lifetime of contributions?"--BOOK JACKET.

"The answer to these questions is a resounding no. In Social Security: The Phony Crisis, economists Dean Baker and Mark Weisbrot show that there is no economic, demographic, or actuarial basis for the widespread belief that the program needs to be fixed."--BOOK JACKET.
