Exchange Rates and Old People.

Dowd, James J.

Journal of Gerontology, v35 n4 p596-602 Jul 1980

Extends earlier work on aging as a process of exchange by focusing on the issue of exchange rates and how they are negotiated. Access to power resources declines with age, placing the old person in the position of negotiating from weakness. (Author)
