[Opinion] Sept. 8, 2017
"Retiree longevity provided the actuarial math that ultimately doomed the existence of pension plans ... Within the last generation we've seen a new economy emerge -- the Content Economy. This new economy allows workers to quickly more from one project to the next and, likewise, from one company to the next.... Simultaneous to [these] two trends has been the streamlining of American equity markets....
