What are the possibilities and prospects for Social Security over
the decades ahead? The essays in this interdisciplinary study
explore what social insurance has meant historically, socially,
economically, politically, and legally in the years since the
founding of the American social security system in 1935. Questions
examined include: Does Social Security have a coherent and
defendable ideology? If so, is that ideology adequate to the
demands of a contemporary political environment that seems to
emphasize the re-privatization of many roles adopted by the modern
welfare state? What explains the peculiarly feverish quality of
recent Social Security politics--which has been characterized by
periodic high anxiety, claims of doom and crisis, and rigid
resistance to any alteration, followed by eventual marginal
adjustment and continuing uncertainty about the future? Although
the authors do not offer answers for all these questions, they
convey confidence about the basic structure of American social
security and optimism about its future possibilities. Contributors
to the work are Robert M. Ball, Robert M. Cover, Michael J. Graetz,
Rudolf Klein, Theodore R. Marmor, Jerry L. Mashaw, Michael
O'Higgins, Paul Starr, and James Tobin. Originally published in
1988. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
