BOOKS

My best-selling book, Capitalism at the Crossroads, published in 2005, was selected by Cambridge University as one of the 50 top books on sustainability of all-time; the third edition of the book was published in 2010.

With Ted London, I'm the author of a newly released book entitled Next Generation Business Strategies for the Base of the Pyramid.
