| Annotation | This briefing is largely an edited extract of "The cold war in welfare: stock markets versus pensions" by Richard Minns (Verso, London 2001), which has largely been updated by Sarah Sexton of The Corner House, with the author's permission and approval. It outlines the different ways in which countries have financed both social security for older people and economic production. It describes the rise of the private model of pensions and the influence of pension funds on capital flows around the world. It then summarises and critiques the main justifications given for expanding private pension schemes, and analyses the motivations of the groups that perpetuate this model. (RH). |
