  "summary": "The Everywhere Millionaire, a new book by Eric Zwick, a Professor of Economics and Finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, challenges the popular narrative that massive wealth in America is concentrated in Silicon Valley or Wall Street. Through a decade of research, Zwick uncovered a hidden 1% of America's real wealthy, consisting of regional business owners, pass-through entity founders, and Main Street entrepreneurs who have built generational fortunes away from the spotlight.
