Unretirement: How Baby Boomers are Changing the Way We Think About Work, Communi

Description: Unretirement by Chris Farrell Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An eye-opening and inspiring report on the profound changes coming to our economy and society in the era of "unretirement," and what they mean for individuals. Publisher Description The budget battles of recent years have amplified the warnings of demographic doomsayers who predicted that a wave of baby boomers would bleed America dry, bankrupting Social Security and Medicare as they faded into an impoverished old age. On the contrary, argues award-winning journalist Chris Farrell, we are instead on the verge of a broad, positive transformation of our economy and society. The old idea of "retirement"--a word that means withdrawal, describing a time when people gave up productive employment and shrank their activities--was a short-lived historical anomaly. Humans have always found meaning and motivation in work and community, Farrell notes, and the boomer generation, poised to live longer in better health than any before, is already discovering unretirement--extending their working lives with new careers, entrepreneurial ventures, and volunteer service. Their experience, wisdom--and importantly, their continued earnings--will enrich the American workplace, treasury, and our whole society in the decades to come. Unretirement not only explains this seismic change, now in its early stages, it provides key insights and practical advice for boomers about to navigate this exciting, but unsettled, new frontier, drawing on Chris Farrells decades of covering personal finance and economics for Bloomsberg Businessweek and Marketplace Money. This will be an indispensable guide to the landscape of unretirement from one of Americas most trusted experts. Author Biography Chris Farrell is a contributing economics editor for Bloomsberg Businessweek and personal finance expert and economics editor for public radios Marketplace Money, Marketplace, and Marketplace Morning Report. He is also the author of The New Frugality and lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.
