In this instant New York Times bestseller, a young and successful entrepreneur who is now a 2024 presidential candidate 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 today—a journey that begins with cynicism and ends with hope.

EDIT: stop nitpicking on an extra "d"
They have two or more sections connected by a flexible joint? Weird brag.
Am I woke?
They meant to say "he's actually very lenticulated" or shaped like a lentil. I can see where the confusion comes from.
From the political side, I try to get information from multiple sources and come to my own conclusions. It's not hard to guess what "side" this book will be on but, that doesn't make the information less valuable. Just make sure to balance it with information from the "other side" and realize the truth probably lies (no pun) somewhere between to two.

"aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)"
Gave this a thumbs down as I do not think any book that promotes racism, division, or hate should be promoted.
I am proud to say that I am "woke" and to have people use that term as an insult says a lot more about them than it does about the people they are trying to insult.
Censorship always comes from the same side because they can't debate with facts, reason and common sense.
