Somebody donated this, so I read it to see what kind of advice and information the author was giving out.
It's half informative, half garbage and several large dashes of Christianity.
The first part of the book mostly goes into the history and context of the current problems with social security. It mostly sticks to semi-impartial facts and analysis. That's not bad. Aside from a handful of problems, such as errors of omission, and... say.... actually blaming part of the long-term social security deficit on *ABORTIONS*. Yep, that's in there for real.
The second part is prescriptive, which is it starts to fall apart. To be fair, theories about how to solve problems from positions across the political spectrum are where many books and statements tend to stumble. In this case the author doesn't try to hide their ideological bias (conservative, free market, hard-work rugged individualistic, etc), but they do allow it to idealize outcomes that are unlikely to go as well as they predict.
Overall, the useful information from this book could probably be condensed down to a short pamphlet and be just as effective.
