Resumen del Editor

An Instant New York Times Best Seller

A young 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.

Woke, Inc. is indispensable for understanding how America's newest and most consequential cultural dogma is fundamentally transforming virtually every sector of our lives.” (Glenn Greenwald, author of Securing Democracy)

"In this engaging, brilliant book, Vivek Ramaswamy hits the nail on the head: Companies go woke because they get richer from division rather than unity. This book is an essential weapon in the battle to reclaim America's soul." (JD Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy and founder of Narya Capital)

“A provocative critique, wrapped in a gripping personal story that pulls you in from page one. Vivek Ramaswamy is breakthrough brilliant and arrestingly original.

good read

Scary and interesting! I see this in action at my job and online, glad he was able to write so eloquently about this growing concern.

Ensnared

Absolutely brilliant! So refreshing to hear the truth unfiltered. Definitely worth a listen. Vivek is a powerful speaker

Wow. Thank you.

I heard the author on a Podcast and thought how truly inspired and insightful he was in his analysis of what has happened to Corporate America.

I can not recommend this book enough. The author’s unique perspective, brilliant analysis & simple down to earth storytelling gives a structure and framework to understanding today’s Woke madness.

Great book from a smart man.

Great book from a smart man. Everyone can learn a lot about society from this well-connected and Harvard University graduate. It shows you the inner working of business like never seen before.

Incredible

Extremely well written and narrated. This should be a must read for all adults despite agreement on each point. Highest possible rating for well researched ideas and topics. Also, I appreciate the practical next steps forward.

Eye opening

Vivek cut through all the smoke in America's culture war. Really appreciated his perspective growing up in America as a men who parents were first generation immigrants from India.

Fascinating and helpful book

I finished this book a week ago, and I have thought about it and brought it up in my conversations several times. It is so fascinating, I admire the author very much for writing it. It really has everything: revelation, personal stories, even a wonderful Brothers Karamazov reference.

Even more Woke

Just listen to the damn thing. Lol
So much in here I identify with in having similar thoughts it’s only built my confidence knowing someone with a totally different life experience agrees on most in principle.
One thing I kind of disagree with, but maybe it’s just missing, is that most Founders knew a high level of morality was required for this Republic through faith, so they were not totally blinded regarding identity politics of day.

Great book! Must share!

This was such a great book! It was definitely eye-opening and a new insight behind the woke mob. This is not a far right book. This book is for all Americans! There’s enough information in this book to bring Americans on both sides together. Please share with others!

One hundred stars!!!

I'm incredibly impressed with Vivek Ramaswamy. This book is much needed and very enlightening. I truly wish everyone would read this book. We need many more people like Vivek who have an incredible amount of personal experience, knowledge and intellect and are willing to share it with those of us who don't. Thank you, Vivek! More, please. In the meantime, I'm reading this one again and again.
