Michael Hardt is an American literary theorist and political philosopher based at Duke University. Perhaps his most famous work is “Empire” written with Antonio Negri, which argues that while classical imperialism has largely disappeared, a new empire is emerging in a diffuse blend of technology, economics, and globalization. The sequel to “Empire”, called “Multitude: War and Democracy in the Age of Empire”, was released in August, 2004, and details the idea of the multitude as the potential site of a global democratic movement.

Hardt has also worked with NGOs in Central America, doing tasks like bringing donated computers from the U.S. and putting them together for the University of El Salvador.
