Woke Inc.- Inside the Social Justice Sc

An Instant New York Times Best SellerA young entrepreneur makes the case that politics has no place in business and sets out a new vision for the future of American capitalism.There’s a new invisible force at work in our economic and cultural lives. It affects every advertisement we see and every product we buy from our morning coffee to a new pair of shoes. “Stakeholder capitalism” makes rosy promises of a better more diverse environmentally friendly world but in reality this ideology championed by America’s business and political leaders robs us of our money our voice and our identity.Vivek Ramaswamy is a traitor to his class. He’s founded multibillion-dollar enterprises led a biotech company as CEO; he became a hedge fund partner in his 20s trained as a scientist at Harvard and a lawyer at Yale and grew up the child of immigrants in a small town in Ohio. Now he takes us behind the scenes into corporate boardrooms and five-star conferences into Ivy League classrooms and secretive nonprofits to reveal the defining scam of our century.The modern woke-industrial complex divides us as a people. By mixing morality with consumerism America’s elites prey on our innermost insecurities about who we really are. They sell us cheap social causes and skin-deep identities to satisfy our hunger for a cause and our search for meaning at a moment when we as Americans lack both.This book not only rips back the curtain on the new corporatist agenda it offers a better way forward. America’s elites may want to sort us into demographic boxes but we don’t have to stay there. Woke Inc. begins as a critique of stakeholder capitalism and ends with an exploration of what it means to be an American in 2021 - a journey that begins with cynicism and ends with hope.
