Dr. Stuart Hart, Samuel C. Johnson Professor of Sustainable Global Enterprise and Professor of Management at Cornell University, has been at the forefront of sustainable development and an advocate for inclusive capitalism since the very beginning. He is widely viewed as a pioneering thought-leader of sustainable global enterprise in both the academic and business communities.

Hart is a “mover and shaker,” in the best sense of the term. He is the author of a new book, Capitalism at the Crossroads: The Unlimited Business Opportunities in Solving the World’s Most Difficult Problems, (recently released by Wharton School Publishing). With colleague Erik Simanis, he is also the Founder of the Base of the Pyramid Learning Laboratory, a coalition of corporate, academic and non-profit partners focused on identifying practical, market-based solutions for the four billion individuals living in poverty at the Base of the Pyramid (BOP). Hart continues to play a key role in evangelizing and convincing all of us to commit to a more effective and more humane form of capitalism that is designed to benefit all of us.

Language plays a critical role in everything that Hart does. Read on to find out why.
