Summary
In this New York Times bestseller, a young and successful 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.

This is such an important book for the scary moment we're living through. It not only explains why we're living through it and what the dangers of Woke (crony) capitalism are, it also offers several smart remedies to help us get past "cancel culture" and the erosion of free speech and persuasion in the democratic process. I proposed this book to my book club and everyone loved it, and were grateful for Vivek's clear and intelligent writing.

Great book, didn’t know much about him but he has good insight and ideas. He would make a great President. Says what he thinks not what he thinks others want him to say or what will make him more popular.

Must read. Having devoured 65 books this year, Vivek Ramaswamy's works, including Woke, Inc., hold a special place on my list. His clear-eyed examination of modern corporate culture is both enlightening and engaging. It's a deep dive into the realities of today's business world, making it a standout read. I'm profoundly glad I explored all three of his books. ★★★★★
