One of the best books I have read on pension funds. - Independent Blackburn does an excellent job of tracing recent developments. - Economist In stormy waters and under darkening skies, Banking on Death stands like a lighthouse, providing a beam of orientation on a solid rock of research. - Goran Therborn Blackburn is particularly good at disentangling the different dynamics that make the pensions problem so intractable for mature, aging economies. - Sir Howard Davis, Director, FSA, Guardian ...required reading for all those interested in the pensions industry. That is, all of us. - Barry Marshall, Public Service Review: Finance This is an important and disturbing book. Blackburn is a master of the complexities of pension provision. He unsettles belief in a commercial fix to the challenge of social insurance. -- Richard Sennett Plenty of food for thought --Times Literary Supplement If Karl Marx were alive today, he would be in the British Library devouring everything he could find on pension funds: the new fuel of global capitalism. Robin Blackburn has read everything, and in this urgent and brilliant book, proposes a new strategy that unites workers of the world around the democratic control of their savings. -- Mike Davis Timely and important reading. - Kevin Phillips, Los Angeles Times
