Recensione:

'The kind of pension, social care and health policies that underpin equal access to a good old age have never been under greater threat. Hence, it is excellent timing that Walker and Foster have pulled together key contributions to the political economy of old age over the last 35 years in such a well edited volume. This is a must get hold of for social gerontologists.' --- Professor Robin Means, University of the West of England, UK
