Abstract:

A reformed Social Security with personal retirement accounts can do much more than reducing the program's coming fiscal problems. It would also allow workers to build family nest eggs; give workers greater asset control; strengthen communities' economic base; yield a higher rate of return; and allow workers benefit ownership.
