From The Margins To Pacesetting: The Place Of The Elderly In U.S. Legal History From A Historian's Perspective, W. Andrew Achenbaum
Marquette Elder's Advisor
Prior to the Civil War, the small percentage of Americans who were elderly lived on the margins of society. Uncared-for poor elderly persons could be placed in poor-houses. Achenbaum discusses the evolution, through veteran's benefits, Social Security, corporate and union pension plans, and Medicare to a society where the care and well-being of the elderly are among the most important legal issues of the day.
