Capitalism and the Construction of Old Age by Chris Phillipson PDF Summary

Book Description: "The present recession is hitting particularly hard at elderly people, especially as it coincides with increasing numbers in the 60+ age group in many industrial capitalist countries. The broad dimensions of demographic change are well understood and are not centrally considered in this book, which aims, rather, to develop a critical account of the position of elderly people in society, the emergence of retirement as part of the human life cycle, and the social - rather than the psychological or biological - problems of aging in a society characterised by major inequalities in the distribution of power, income and property." -- from inside cover.
