Quotes

  • The life cycle of family size, at least in the U.S., has a very humped shape rather similar to that of income, though with a somewhat earlier peak. As a result, one might expect, and generally finds a fairly constant rate of saving in the central age group, but lower saving or even dissaving in the very young or old.
  • A situation where people can grow old without having a job that rewards them individually while adding to the collective well-being is morally unacceptable.
