Prime Time: How Baby Boomers Will Revolutionize Retirement and Transform America
By Marc Freedman
Public Affairs, New York, 1999
ISBN 1-891620-17-1

Marc Freedman's premise in Prime Time: How Baby Boomers Will Revolutionize Retirement and Transform America is that the baby boom generation, born between 1946 and 1964, will transform retirement as it transformed so many things in American culture. His positive assessment that "boomer" retirees will act as civil society change agents is illustrated through first-person accounts of the ways in which retirees are altering their own lives and those of their communities.
