Sobre IBD

Once Britain’s pensions system was admired around the world. Now it is in tatters and vast numbers of us face the grim choice of enduring a poverty-stricken future or working until we drop. What on earth went wrong?In The Great Pensions Robbery award-winning journalist Alex Brummer ventures into the corridors of power to find out how politicians bent on penny-pinching a bullied and ineffectual civil service and highly placed but unscrupulous individuals all played their part in fatally undermining a 100-year-old system. And as he convincingly argues the story is very far from being over.
