Reviews
“Jonathan Burkham is an American, not an American’t, a thinker interested in solving problems instead of just complaining about them. One of the biggest problems facing the country is the decline of the Midwest. Burkham shows that there is an easy fix: place-based immigration visas to restore healthy economic and population growth. And he sells this common-sense fix as well as anyone could. Anyone who cares about the future of the Heartland should read this book.” * Bryan D. Caplan, Professor of Economics, George Mason University, USA *
A sweeping, well-researched argument for 'choosing a nation of immigrants.' * Kirkus Reviews * “Jonathan Burkham is an American, not an American’t, a thinker interested in solving problems instead of just complaining about them.

Author Information
Jonathan Mann Burkham, a Midwesterner by birth and disposition, is associate professor of human geography at University of Wisconsin–Whitewater. His research, which has taken him to live and work in Mexico and Peru, explores the intersection of economic development and migration with a focus on how labor markets are affected by demographic trends. While he likes to imagine himself a world traveler and mountain man, Burkham more often spends his time running the hills and greenways near his home on Lake Michigan. He lives in Milwaukee with his wife and two daughters.
