This volume explores the reasons why people save, how they decide to allocate their wealth once they retire, and how givers select their beneficiaries.  It also assesses the extent to which the estate tax and annuitization of retirement wealth affects the amount and nature of wealth transfers. Finally, it looks at the impact of wealth transfers - first on the amount of aggregate saving and capital accumulation, and then on the distribution of wealth among households.
