Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Retirement Heist
Ellen E. Schultz · 2011
90/100
👍 Worth It
Ellen Schultz did the unglamorous digging that regulators and Congress didn't, showing how companies quietly turned pension plans into profit centers while cutting benefits for rank-and-file workers. It's meticulously reported and grounded in real retirees' stories, so the complex accounting never feels dry. This is investigative journalism at its best and absolutely worth your time.
