ECONOMIST, PROFESSOR
AUTHOR, REIMAGINING CAPITALISM IN A WORLD ON FIRE

Cambridge

Rebecca imagines a just and sustainable future of capitalism.

A prominent economist and the John and Natty McArthur professor at Harvard University, Rebecca Henderson is one of the world’s most insightful and influential scholars focused on driving large-scale economic change. A leading authority in organizational and strategic innovation for more than thirty years, today her research, teaching, and speaking centers on purpose-driven capitalism and the role that business leaders at every level can play in reimagining our current system.

Can business become a critical ally in the battle to rethink capitalism? Rebecca argues that it’s possible to create a better, more sustainable future—if we act with urgency and in concert with one another. This belief has driven her work for the last ten years and is at the heart of her latest endeavor, Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire (Hachette, 2020), a book-length version of her award-winning MBA class at Harvard.
