Charles Hampden-Turner - Work: Overview

Work: Overview

Hampden-Turner intellectual interests developed from his time as an undergraduate at Cambridge (BA Trinity), the Chairman of Cambridge University Conservative Association, and a committee member of the Cambridge Union Society at the time of the Suez conflict. He refined and developed his ideas at Harvard, during both his MBA and DBA, and during his time on the Harvard faculty, publishing his thesis as Radical Man: Towards a theory of Psycho-social Development in 1969. He joined “The War on Poverty” and he worked with Black and Puerto Rican Empowerment Groups, being strongly orientated towards free thinking and community-based capitalism, rather than Marxism or Communism.
