AB - BOOK REVIEWS | 737 conference discussion dealing with these issues indicate sthat many participants rejected the concept of SSI as the basic program as politically unfeasible. Regard ­ less, the economists continue to view such a program as more efficient because funds go to those most in need; the negative implication of s stigma are under ­ estimated. In conclusion, the underlying question addressed in this book is whether redis ­ tribution to the aged is a legitimate social goal or whether only redistribution to the poor is acceptabl e. Economists, such as Munnell, would support redistribu ­ tion to the poor, and to the aged only insofar as they are poor. The "gray lobby" would probably support redistributi on to the aged per se. For this reader the in ­ teresting social policy question is which are the population groups a society de­ fines as warranti support ng (the aged? children? famili es with children?) and why? What kind of support and why? Each of these books make s some contribution to identifying how and why such choices are made. Sheila B.
