(Ebook) Capitalism at the Crossroads: Aligning Business, Earth, and Humanity by Stuart L. Hart, Al Gore ISBN 9780136134398, 0136134394

In the second edition of "Capitalism at the Crossroads" Stuart Hart makes a very strong case for MNCs to start thinking about the bottom of the pyramid (BoP) and environmentalism as opportunities. The book, which is subtitled "Aligning business, earth and humanity", manages to cover the most significant global issues of our time - global warming, global poverty and terrorism - in a way that is comprehensive and insightful.
