Reviews:

[T]he only reference work focused specifically on financial issues and aging....This work's importance will increase, considering the large number of baby boomers slipping into retirement....Recommended. Undergraduates.
—Choice July 2004
This multidisciplinary work is a "comprehensive inventory of policies, institutions, practices, and problems" associated with retirement and finance....The entries are very readable and provide excellent insight into the area of retirement and finance. Although this work could be used as a textbook, its major contribution will be as a reference tool, and it will undoubtedly be an extremely useful addition to academic and public libraries.
—Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin May 1, 2004
