The Coming Generational Storm

The Coming Generational Storm

Laurence J. Kotlikoff and Scott Burns authored the book entitled The Coming Generational Storm: What You Need to Know about America's Economic Future (2004).

In the Prologue on page xii, the authors say the United States was "heading into one God-awful fiscal storm, the full dimensions of which are hard to fathom." Further, they say on page xiii the book offers suggestions for United States public policy and personal finance to help deflect the "storm". Moreover, they state:

:"We feel we have some unique insights into the demographic and economic problems facing our country based on our own research and that of other economists and financial analysts. Our goal is to leave you with a real sense of what's coming, why it's coming, when it's coming, and where national and personal economic salvation does and does not lie."

"Averting America's Bankruptcy with a New New Deal", published by "The Economists' Voice" - February 2006, outlined some of the solutions promoted in the book.

Kotlikoff on Long-Term Fiscal Problems in the U.S.". [http://www.taxfoundation.org/podcast/show/1859.html]
