Most countries face the future with an ageing population, yet most governments are cutting back on pensions and the care services needed by the elderly. Robin Blackburn exposes the perverse reasoning and special interests which have combined to produce this nonsensical state of affairs. This updated paperback edition of Age Shock includes a new preface explaining why the credit crunch and eurozone crisis have had such a devastating impact and outlining a way to guarantee decent pensions and care provision.
Robin Blackburn teaches at the University of Essex and is an editor at New Left Review. He is the author of many books, including The American Crucible, The Making of New World Slavery, The Overthrow of Colonial Slavery, Age Shock and Banking on Death.
