Since the birth of their nation, Americans have acted on the belief that theirs was a land of youth, a place destined to offer a fresh start to an aging world. No Country for Old Age tells this story from the founding period to our present moment, but not without exposing its darker side: rejuvenation has often bred grand expectations that end in division and despair.

The budget battles of recent years have amplified the warnings of demographic doomsayers who predicted that a wave of baby boomers would bleed America dry, bankrupting Social Security and Medicare as they faded into an impoverished old age. On the contrary, argues award-winning journalist Chris Farrell, we are instead on the verge of a broad, positive transformation of our economy and society.

Story0
Ageism is too often an accepted form of bias, even though the facts support the value of aging. Airline pilots forced to retire at the arbitrary age of 65 are usually at the top of their game. Forced retirement in most organizations remove highly skilled performers as well as role models and trainers for newer generations. Instead of revelling in who we are, we begin to try to look younger as soon as possible. People have become inured to "losing" abilities as they age instead of appreciating new abilities that only age can bestow.

Erst im Alter sind wir richtig jung! Wenn Jugend bedeutet, unbeschwert auf alles zuzugehen, mutig und neugierig zu sein, dann stellt sich die Frage: Wann haben wir das wirklich gelebt? Mit 20, als wir hin- und hergerissen waren, wo die Reise hingeht? Mit 30, als Stress und schlaflose Nächte uns erschöpften? Mit 40 oder 50, als Gewohnheiten vermeintliche Sicherheit vermittelten? Tatsache ist: Die Zeit von 60 bis 90 Jahren ist genauso lang wie die von 30 bis 60 - JETZT ist die Zeit, in der wir jung sein können.

Embracing Age: How Catholic Nuns Became Models of Aging Well examines a community of individuals whose aging trajectories contrast mainstream American experiences. In mainstream American society, aging is presented as a “problem”, a state to be avoided as long as possible, a state that threatens one’s ability to maintain independence, autonomy, control over one’s surroundings. Aging “well” (or avoiding aging) has become a 21st-century American preoccupation.
