Economic and Social Engineering
- Publication of a book titled: ‘Have You Ever Seen A retired Tiger In The Jungle?’ (April 2009)
The book offers a comprehensive and detailed plan of action for the long-term redesign of the current global pension system. The proposed Ten Pillars Program constitutes a significant paradigm change in all aspects concerning cost and accumulation of pension funding. The Program is also expected (when the pension funding accumulation system will have had time to mature) to help the economy evolve into a less speculative and therefore more stable and more sustainable economic model.
