Bowen Book Award, Industrial Relations Section of Princeton University" "With lucid prose and compelling logic, Arnold provides a masterclass of the application of theory to practical problem-solving. Fixing Social Security exemplifies the best of what political science has to offer to policy analysisit is the rare book that offers as much to scholars as it does to practitioners, and we recommend it to all interested in the intersection of politics and policymaking." * winning citation, Gladys M. Kammerer Award, American Political Science Association * "It is a book all scholars of Congress and the presidency should read. With its non-technical integration of political science and policy analysis (as well as many simple and revealing figures and tables), it is also an ideal offering for American politics courses."---Jacob Hacker, Congress & the Presidency "A Masterwork by a Master Writer. I am sure that many other scholars of social policy, Congress, and American politics will find much to ponder in this brilliant book. For one thing, it is stunningly well written. Arnolds ability to explain complex fiscal and political concepts with deft turns of phrase is unparalleled."---Andrea Campbell, Political Science Quarterly "A masterful analysis of the challenge of altering Social Security law to avoid funding shortfalls that would require large benefit reductions. . . . Fixing Social Security offers students, scholars, and practitioners a balanced and accessible framework for understanding one of the most consequential and politically charged elements of U.S. fiscal policy."---Joseph White, Public Budgeting & Finance
