The Fabricated Threat

How is an aging society dramatically portrayed, and who benefits from it? And why does the welfare state have a future?

The Myth of Demographic Decline and Why We Are So Inclined to Believe It

For decades, we have been told that demographic change is a catastrophe: too many elderly people, too few young people, and pensions on the verge of collapse. But much of this is simply a myth.

Andreas Hoffmann, a seasoned economist and political journalist, explains who is fueling these fears, why they persist so strongly, and what we really have in store.

With keen insight, intelligence, and a passion for facts, he exposes the falsehoods of political fearmongers and explains how aging can become a strength for our society.

An intelligent and engaging book that encourages you to take a closer look and steal the spotlight from the fearmongers.
