The most explosive economic and political force of recent years has been the growth of personal investment. About half of all Americans now own stocks and bonds through IRAs, 401(k)s, and other financial devices. In Investor Politics, John Hood examines the political implications of this expansion of property ownership, sketches out a realistic strategy for shrinking the welfare state, and shows how Americans can provide for their own welfare and security. Investor Politics treats such policy issues as Social Security, health care, national savings, and education.
