Max J. Skidmore

Poverty & Public Policy, 2011, vol. 3, issue 4, 1-13

Abstract: Max J. Skidmore examines the current “conventional wisdom” regarding Social Security, and discusses a dozen of the growing number of books countering prevailing beliefs. He demonstrates that the “conventional” often is not “wisdom,” but rather received dogma inspired by well‐financed special interests.
