Description for The Imaginary Time Bomb: Why an Ageing Population is Not a Social Problem
Paperback. The author argues that the modern world's growing preoccupation with aging has little or nothing to do with demography but rather that it is used to justify further reductions in the role of government in the economy and the curbing of the welfare state. Thus, he demolishes a succession of myths. Num Pages: 259 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: JFSP31; JHBD; JKS; JPQB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 140 x 216 x 19. Weight in Grams: 354.
The Imaginary Time Bomb diffuses the myth that the aging baby-boomer population is producing a downward economic spiral. Phil Mullan argues that the growing preoccupation with aging has little to do with demography, but is instead used to justify future reductions in the role of government in the economy, and the curbing of the welfare state.
