Solid Book
I recommend this book to students all of the time, and it is still extremely relevant. It is relevant because it addresses issues pertaining to the current debate about social security. It does so from the vantage point of concern for the future outlook of social security for younger generations. I really appreciate the history in the book because it contextualizes the debate over social security reform. I learned a great deal from Morris' work.

Disappointment
Sadly, this book's title makes one think it will delve into AARP; unfortunately, it goes over the beginnings of the organization which are fairly well known and spends most of the time dealing with the fluid issues of Social Security, Medicare, long term care. The nature of these debates change like the seasons and what's relevant today is dead wood tomorrow.
