Summary

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.

During these uncertain times there are a group of brave leaders who are stepping up to make the case to protect our way of life. It is quite clear to me Vivek did not have to write this book and in many ways would have cost him dearly but as much I have no doubt he is a brave man I also believe it is a calling and one he has stepped up to perfectly.

A book whose time has come!

Very insightful book with easy to verify data that the author picked from. Incredible to listen to all the various dubious stories from corporation capitalizing on a generation that seems to be in pursuit of some greater. In the first half it is sometimes easy to poke holes in trains of thought. The second half ties it neatly together with a set of ideas and plans that make sense. They just do.

Keeps me thinking

This became one of my favourite books. He lays out a scary narrative of how capitalists manipulate public opinion to support disingenuous woke causes while ignoring real problema and making a lot of money in the mean time. A must read.

One of my favourites, a must read

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

So why the five star review? Written from an American perspective for an American audience, there are lessons within for all of us, whether we are American or not. Vivek argues from core principals that make sense and he delivers answers. He is a beacon of good sense in a world that at times, to this reviewer, seems logically challenged. It takes bravery and robustness to write something that may in the first instance be unpopular, but truth is not a popularity contest. Read Woke Inc, it’s worth challenging yourself. E pluribus unum!
