Woke, Inc.: Corporate America's Social Justice Scam

Vivek Ramaswamy, a young entrepreneur, has written an instant New York Times bestseller in which he argues that politics has no place in business and offers a new vision for the future of American capitalism.

In our economic and cultural lives, there is a new invisible force at work that influences every advertisement and purchase we make. This force is known as "stakeholder capitalism" and it makes promises of a better, more diverse, and environmentally friendly world. However, in reality, this ideology, which is championed by America’s business and political leaders, robs us of our money, voice, and identity.

Ramaswamy, a traitor to his class, has founded multi-billion dollar enterprises and led a biotech company as CEO. He has also become a hedge fund partner, and has been trained as a scientist at Harvard and a lawyer at Yale. He takes readers behind the scenes into corporate boardrooms, five-star conferences, Ivy League classrooms, and secretive nonprofits to reveal what he sees as the defining scam of our century.

According to Ramaswamy, the modern woke-industrial complex divides people by mixing morality with consumerism. America’s elites prey on our innermost insecurities about our identities. They sell us cheap social causes and superficial identities to satisfy our desire for a cause and meaning, at a time when many Americans lack both.

His book not only exposes the new corporatist agenda, but also offers a better way forward. While America’s elites may attempt to sort people into demographic boxes, Ramaswamy believes that individuals do not have to stay there. His book, "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 starts with cynicism and concludes with hope.
