BANKING ON DEATH traces the development of pensions from early modern Europe to the present day. The author--an editor of the New Left Review--takes an international approach, though focusing mainly on the US and Great Britain, in discussions of corporate governance, tax policy, and executive compensation. He examines the trend toward privatization of public pension funds, which yields tax breaks for the investor but allows less control over how the funds are invested. In the end, the author advocates worker-controlled not-for-profit pension funds, which would invest in sustainable, progressive, and responsible economic projects. The book is both a thorough examination of the history of pensions, and a visionary tract with largely leftist views.
