Reviews
'The great virtue of John Macnicol's book is precisely that it forces the reader to question many of the assumptions that are often made in the debate about ageism, mandatory retirement and what the appropriate pensionable age should be ... otherwise a book marked by wide-ranging scholarship and careful analysis.' Journal of Public Policy
'It merits wide reading by policy analysts, activists and gerontologists on both sides of the Atlantic.' History
