=== Are modern ideas about retirement and ceasing working conservative when compared to world history? ===
*[https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtNA_51afd67b-86f3-43e7-b499-b8070b063973 Are modern ideas about retirement and ceasing working conservative when compared to world history? How much, if any, do FDR's ideas contribute to America's ideas on ceasing working and retirement?]
Summary:
"Modern retirement — stopping work entirely around age 65 and living decades in leisure funded by pensions or the state — has almost no precedent in world history. For 99% of human existence, people worked until they couldn’t. Mass retirement is a radical late-19th/20th-century invention, pioneered by Bismarck and spread worldwide. In America, FDR’s 1935 Social Security Act was the decisive turning point: before it, retirement was rare; after it (and postwar expansions), it became the expected norm. Far from conservative, today’s idea of retirement is one of the most progressive social innovations ever created."
