Description: The approach of the year 2000 creates a millennial fascination which causes man to ponder his past, to assess his present, and to peer into his future. This study of the actuarial profession looks upon those design-steering aspects which can lead to a greater future. Although this work adopts the standpoint of a life company actuary, it views the entirety of the profession. All actuaries are bound up in essentially the same future.
