Learning from Lookalikes
In Jeremy's forthcoming book, The Opportunity Map, he reveals why America should stop looking to the Nordics or Japanese or British for answers to our biggest social problems, and instead identify the hidden solutions that may be hiding right in our own backyards. If location is so important for economic mobility in America, we need to be turning to the nation's breakout stars to reveal the pathways to prosperity.

The Opportunity Map
In The Opportunity Map, Jeremy Ney visits the communities with the worst prospects for housing, healthcare, employment, incomes, and education. Along the way, he uncovers something remarkable: for many of the most distressed places in America, there exists a counterpart—a community that is almost identical yet it has cracked the code on the American Dream.
