Aprašymas

What if aging isn't the problem--and the way we think about it is?

Too often, older people are seen through the narrow lenses of decline, dependency, and cost, rather than for the lives they continue to lead, the relationships they sustain, and the contributions they make. In The Counterforce of Hope, Jane Barratt exposes the ageism built into the systems that shape later life, from health care and research to employment, pensions, and public policy.

Yet this is not a book about what is broken. It is about what can be remade. Drawing on personal stories, global policy, philosophy, and decades of experience, Barratt explores why progress has stalled and what it would take to create systems that recognize dignity, autonomy, participation, and belonging throughout the life course.

The Counterforce of Hope is ultimately a call to see aging differently--and to understand hope not as passive optimism, but as a collective force for imagining and building a more inclusive future.
