Eugene Rusyn is a Senior Fellow at the Solomon Center for Health Law and Policy at Yale Law School. His research interests include health law, environmental law, legal history, and the study of government bureaucracy.'It seems everyone wants to live longer and longer, but Alstott, Gluck, and Rusyn are among the brave few willingly to peer into the near-term future and confront the social, economic, legal, and other problems created by centenarian societies. This book begins the absolutely invaluable task of delineating potential solutions to these problems. It will serve as the guidebook for all future work to create livable and just centenarian societies. Inevitably all of us-who will live long- will have to engage with its proposals.' Ezekiel J. Emanuel, Levy University Professor, Perelman School of Medicine and The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
'Life expectancy has been increasing almost linearly, doubling in 150 years. Most see aging societies as an existential problem - older people without purpose and a drain on society. Alstott, Gluck and Rusyn see aging as a new opportunity to thrive, a 'third demographic dividend.' How refreshing. I can't think of a book more important to our social fabric. What are legal and policy innovations for a new golden age? Look no further than this glorious book.' Lawrence Gostin, Distinguished University Professor, Georgetown Law
