The book delves into the evolution of social security in America, highlighting its foundational purpose as envisioned by Franklin Roosevelt and its transformation into a vital yet challenged institution. It examines the complex interplay of demographic, political, and economic factors that have led to dwindling support for social security. Advocating for a re-visioning of the program, the author emphasizes the need for a universal minimum standard of living and encourages a broader dialogue on government responsibilities in an aging society, drawing lessons from history to inform future policies.
