DISCUSSION: Browse Discussion to Date.

The Social Insurance Reform group will discuss how public sector retirement programs, such as Social Security in the United States, might be reformed to increase ownership and control of firms by their employees and customers. Group members are encouraged to offer concrete proposals on how this might occur and to relate these proposals to current policy debates.

Members are encouraged to respectfully critique each other's proposals and those proposals currently under review in the public sector, for example President Bush's proposal to divert a portion of Old Age and Survivors' Insurance to private investment currently being developed by the President's Commission to Strengthen Social Security.
