Americans, and the elected officials who represent them, are worried about retirement. Majorities of Americans tell pollsters they fear a "retirement crisis" of inadequate savings and incomes in old age. Some argue that our system of 401(k)s and individual retirement accounts layered on top of a base income from Social Security is an abject failure. Only a complete reboot that expands Social Security and abandons 401(k)s can avert the retirement crisis. But what if that entire narrative is wrong? In The Real Retirement Crisis: Why (Almost) Everything You Know About the US Retirement System Is Wrong , Andrew G.

And, thanks to 401(k)s taking over for traditional pensions, Americans have more income in retirement than ever before. The US retirement system compares well to those of other developed countries.

The real risk is if America's retirement success story is derailed.
