The People's Pension: The Struggle to Defend Social Security Since Reagan

Start: May 17 2012 7:00 pm

Join us for an event with the author, Eric Laursen.

The People's Pension is both groundbreaking history and an eye-opening guide for anyone concerned about one of the biggest issues of our times. With 95 percent of Americans participating in the program either as beneficiaries or through their payroll tax contributions, Social Security is quite literally the glue that binds Americans together as a community. In a provocative epilogue, Laursen argues to democratize, not disable, the program, suggesting that the only solution for Social Security may be to de-link it from government altogether.
