This is probably the most unconventional textbook in the field of social gerontology.
It does not just provide introductions to topics that are usually linked to population ageing, such as care, health, and pensions. Moody and Sasser go further by provoking readers with a mix of basic concepts and related controversies.
The book focuses on discussing various questions, such as “Should older people be protected from bad choices?” and “Should we ration health care for older people?”
