Retirement Lost?
RÉSUMÉ Cet article soulève la question de savoir si la retraite, comme nous la connaissons et comprenons actuellement au Canada, est perdue. Grâce à un examen sélectif, nous examinons la recherche sur la retraite selon la durée de la retraite, de nouveaux types de retraite, les évolutions théoriques possibles, les moments de transition vers la retraite, et la vie des retraités, y inclus la qualité ou le manque de pensions. En conséquence, nous proposons que la retraite est soumise a des modifications sur la base de plusieurs tendances qui ont commencé avant le ralentissement économique de 2008. Les données semblent indiquer l’émergence d’un type différent de la retraite, dans la mesure où la vision collective canadienne de la retraite n’est pas perdue, malgré la crise économique sur les marchés mondiaux. ABSTRACT In this article, we raise the question as to whether retirement is lost as we currently know and understand it in Canada. With a selected review, we examine retirement research according to the scope of retirement and the new retirement, possible theoretical developments, the timing of transitions into retirement, and life as a retiree including the quality or lack of pensions. Accordingly, we propose that retirement is undergoing modifications on the basis of several trends that commenced before the 2008 economic downturn. The data would appear to lean towards the emergence of a different type of retirement, insofar as the collective Canadian vision of retirement is lost, notwithstanding the economic meltdown in global markets.
Fascism in Britain: A History, 1918-1985
Tracing its origins from shortly after the World War I, this book presents a portrait of fascism in the 1930s. It reassesses Mosley's career, describes the reasons for internment in 1940 and the effect it had on leading fascists, exposes the famous Britons who subscribed to fascism, reveals the ominous re-emergence of the tradition after 1945, and explains its remarkable persistence into the l980s.
