Reviews
Praise for Social Security Works for Everyone!:
"Social Security Works for Everyone! explains why it's well past time to expand Social Security. It is a solution to the nation's looming retirement income crisis. America's workers deserve no less."
--Richard L. Trumka, president, AFL-CIO

"Everyone should read this informative and thoughtful book. My grandfather would have had it on his night stand along with some notes from Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins."
--James Roosevelt Jr., grandson of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and counsel, Verrill Dana LLP

"In this essential book, two of the nation's leading experts make the progressive case for expanding Social Security in a clear and well-reasoned manner. Altman and Kingson set the standard for policy debate on a vital subject."
--Edward D. Berkowitz, professor emeritus of history and public policy, George Washington University, and author of Mr. Social Security: The Life of Wilbur J. Cohen

"Our Social Security system is a vehicle for racial, gender, and economic justice. Social Security Works for Everyone! shows how it can be even more so. I recommend this book to everyone, including members of Congress."
--Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, founder, president, and CEO, Global Policy Solutions LLC

"It is about time that facts, not propaganda, influence public debate about Social Security. . . . Millennials as well as aging baby boomers have a crucial stake in preserving the one source of universal financial security. Altman and Kingson provide a public service in explaining why."
--Fernando Torres-Gil, director, UCLA Center for Policy Research on Aging, and former U.S. Assistant Secretary on Aging
