50+: igniting a revolution to reinvent America

Summary:

Bill Novelli doesn't believe that retirement has to mean rocking
one's way into the sunset. As the head of the AARP, Novelli believes
that retirement can be a time of action and influence rather than one
of illness and decline. Here he speaks to the growing number of
Americans age 50 and older about what they can do to shape the
national debate about aging and influence government policy towards
retirees. And the tide of change is potentially enormous: when the
Baby Boomer generation ages to the 50 - year mark, they will create
the largest group of retirees in the history of the country,
solidifying a powerful constituency for major change in ways
beneficial to the entire nation. Novelli believes that this group is
capable of just about anything.--From publisher description.
