The economic and financial challenges faced by most countries in relation of their aging population are enormous. This book provides a lot of interesting insights on the retirement problem, and provides fuel to think about solutions to it in the most intelligent way. Many things can go really bad if things are not managed efficiently on this matter. By reading the articles gathered by Ziemba in this book, some of these horrible prospects could be escaped. Christian Gollier, Director of the Toulouse School of Economics, Researcher at LERNA/TSE (Research Center in Environmental Economics)
