A young entrepreneur makes the case that politics has no place in business and sets out a new vision for the future of capitalism.

The modern woke-industrial complex divides us as a people. By mixing morality with consumerism, corporate 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 lack both.

Vivek Ramaswamy is a traitor to his class. He’s founded multibillion-dollar enterprises, led a biotech company as CEO, 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.

But this book not only rips back the curtain on the new corporatist agenda, it offers a better way forward. Corporate 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 a member of society in 2021 - a journey that begins with cynicism and ends with hope.

I was sceptical about this book. Surely wokeism is about millennials, not corporations. But in the end I was convinced. The sheer hypocrisy of banks and other businesses, making fatuous gestures and declarations, is troubling. So is the sacking of those who fail to toe the zealots line. So is the social media industry, largely captured by one ideology, and seeking to suppress criticism. An impressively researched and detailed expose.

Disturbing and interesting

Woke Inc explores the dangerous reality of ESG and Stakeholder Capitalism and how this has morphed into an Oligarchic control mechanism that threatens civil liberties.
At its very core, Wokery is a religion in every sense of the word wherein all have to atone for the Original Sin of Systemic Racism. Corporations in turn are carpet bagging on these concepts to brandish a new and virtuous image in spite of their true natures.
Ramaswany, a Hindu American (contrary to the expectation that opponents of Wokery are White Males) exposes how the pernicious ideology of Wokery detracts from individual merits and creates a false civic virtue that threatens the character of America itself.
As an alternative, Ramaswany recommends some form of compulsory National Service (Military or otherwise) for all young adults to give a sense of investment in the actual ideas on which America was founded and give a sense of ownership of the country.
Overall, a superb book that this reader cannot fault.

If you thought you knew what woke was, you won’t till you have read/heard this book.

Vivek beautifully and surgically dismantles Woke Totalitarianism so you can see it clearly in all its ugly glory. It hides in plain sight and has power over you because you don’t realise what it is doing.

He has some excellent ideas on legal positions to face down the bullies and the mob. I hope he is putting his money behind those positions.

I strongly recommend you read this book. It will open your eyes

Powerful and eye-opening
