Capitalism at the Crossroads

Capitalism at the Crossroads: The Unlimited Business Opportunities in Solving the World’s Most Difficult Problems, by Dr. Stuart L. Hart has been named one of the best business books of 2005 by strategy+business magazine. It has been translated into Spanish, Portuguese, and Mandarin.

“The book provides many valuable examples of the experiments, innovations, and market success stories of companies that are building businesses to address the specific needs and desires of people living in the poorest nations. His stories and insights are especially strong when he explains what multinational companies do to become effective in these markets…Even more valuable...is the void this book fills in leveraging familiar management concepts, frameworks, and language to connect business strategy to sustainability strategies.”
- Chuck Lucier and Jan Dyer
