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.
Hardship is now equated with victimhood. Outward displays of
vulnerability in defeat are celebrated over winning unabashedly.
The pursuit of excellence and exceptionalism are at the heart of
American identity, and the disappearance of these ideals in our
country leaves a deep moral and cultural vacuum in its wake. But
the solution isn't to simply complain about it. It's to revive a
new cultural movement in America that puts excellence first again.
Leaders have called Ramaswamy "the most compelling conservative
voice in the country" and "one of the towering intellects in
America," and this book reveals why: he spares neither left nor
right in this scathing indictment of the victimhood culture at the
heart of America's national decline. Following the success of his
instant bestseller Woke Inc., Ramaswamy explains in his new book
that we're a nation of victims now. It's one of the few things we
still have left in common-across black victims, white victims,
liberal victims, and conservative victims. Victims of each other,
and ultimately, of ourselves. This fearless, provocative book is
for readers who dare to look in the mirror and question their most
sacred assumptions about who we are and how we got here.
Intricately tracing history from the fall of Rome to the rise of
America, weaving Western philosophy with Eastern theology in ways
that moved Jefferson and Adams centuries ago, this book describes
the rise and the fall of the American experiment itself-and
hopefully its reincarnation.
