    Publishing January 2022, "Intended Consequences" lays out an actionable framework for founders, entrepreneurs, leadership teams, and investors on how to build and maintain a "responsible innovation" company— a company built for growth and for societal good that withstands the test of time. A Forbes Best Business Book of 2022.

    In "UnHealthcare," (2020) Silicon Valley entrepreneur and investor Hemant Taneja and Jefferson Health CEO Stephen Klasko, along with writer Kevin Maney, make a provocative case for a new data-driven, cloud-based category of healthcare called "health assurance."

    "Unscaled" (2018) identifies the forces reshaping the global economy and turning one of the fundamental laws of business and society–the economies of scale–on its head.
