It is full of gems ... The final product combines careful research with clear analytical insights, and a proposal asto how to reform the British pension system.'Magazine of the Birkbeck Society, 'There is sufficient detail for the reader to obtain a broad understanding of the principles of a complicated subject ... a well-written book that will be a useful reference for anybody with an interest in pension provision in the UK.'Times Higher Education Supplement, 'David Blake sets a new standard for the notion of "in depth analysis" with his encyclopedic description of pension schemes and funds in the United Kingdom ... This book is an indispensble resource for anyone who is serious about understanding pensions ... I recommend this book for threereasons. It offers a comprehensive and dispassionate discussion of the relevant policy issues pertaining to the provision of retirement income. It contains a concise yet surprisingly thorough description of pension investment concepts and practices, including an unusually accessible review of keyquantitative tools. He looks into the future and offers a provocative list of the attributes of the ideal pension scheme.'Journal of Finance, 'A comprehensive history of the origins and development of British pensions both by the state and the private sector.'Financial Times

SynopsisIn this up-to-date and thorough exposition of state pension schemes and the activities of pension funds in Britain, David Blake combines a wealth of institutional detail and an examination of important policy issues to outline an ideal pension scheme that addresses and resolves the problems in the current system. In his analysis, Blake reviews the historical development of pensions, the wide range of pension schemes currently operating in the UK, how they work, and the public policy issues facing them. This integrated analysis of pension schemes and funds provides clear guidelines for the future success of these programs in the UK and will be a valuable resource for business and public economists.
