How effective is America’s social safety net? How should we reform entitlement programs so they are more effective and fiscally viable? In 2018, the American Academy of Political and Social Science (AAPSS) invited experts to contribute to a special issue of The ANNALS focused on answering these questions. The result is a comprehensive, critical look at the nation’s safety-net programs, with an eye toward fundamental reforms.

AEI, the Brookings Institution, and AAPSS invite you to an event marking the release of this publication. The event will feature a discussion from two editors of the volume on why a critical look at safety-net programs is warranted; presentations on Social Security, Medicare, and the Social Security Disability Insurance programs; and a panel discussion led by AEI President Robert Doar.
