English Summary/英文概要： In this hard-hitting look at the Western economic history of retirement and how it has no place in the modern world, the authors provide case studies and a workable blueprint for changing our expectations and plans for the second half of our working lives.
You have been found guilty of working hard all your life. You have lived a rich and rewarding life. You will now pay for that. You are sentenced to live out the rest of your days in a truly worthless existence. We’ll find you a little box somewhere to call home. You will be expected to do less and eat less. And if you get sick we’ll soak up any savings you might have and then put you at the back of the queue, behind all the other old and worthless people.
Retirement was invented to solve an oversupply of labour
You do not have a use-by date
Society can’t afford the retirement we are working for
You don’t need to retire to see your family, travel or read
Give up your job, but don’t stop working!
