Summary
  1. "Focusing on three key issues - productivity growth, income inequality, and the aging of the baby-boom generation - this volume describes a "radically moderate" agenda that captures our political moment. The authors begin by acknowledging the difficult tradeoffs required for revamping programs for the aged and poor while keeping the economy growing. They then untangle the complexities of the policy debate and propose sensible ways to move America forward into the new century."--Jacket.
