The Final Approach to Retirement

Winston Churchill once said, “Of all of the economic systems, Capitalism is by far the least worst.”, and if we trace back the origins of Capitalism, we see a social construct designed to fuel growth and prosperity that also inadvertently led to widespread inequality. On this edition of our MoneyTalk Moment in Financial History, Nathan discusses how Capitalism led to the rapid economic progress of the 20th century, but with some unintended consequences. Also on MoneyTalk, a listener driven discussion on retirement transition decisions.
