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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

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.

Impressive insight

The author does a great job in backing up his claims. Eye opening stories and paints a vivid picture depicting his points. Highly recommend for both liberals and conservatives.

Well researched, book on how wokism hurts the US

highly recommend since the author explains many legal, moral and ethical reasons why wokism is flawed and how it negatively affected corporate culture and business.

An absolute must read.

it's extremely thought provoking so I recommend you read the book whether you support the authors views or are vehemently against them.

Good book. Relevant

Insightful. I liked it. Drawing from his personal experience as a CEO of a modern pharma company and his journey getting there. He takes an honest look at the problems facing our country and some possibilities for positive change.

Highly recommend

Eye opening take on the Woke game being played that has allowed corporations and politicians to achieve their goals while portraying the illusion of moral superiority.

please read this book

required reading for ALL American citizens. a timeless classic. in REMARKABLE tune with it's times. easily understood. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS BOOK. and take it seriously.

Great book

One of the most thoughtful and detailed writings on the current political situation as we are facing the next couple of Elections.

Wokeness is destroying the American dream

The American dream is one out of many. We debate the ideas and the best surface to the top. We have had a shared set of beliefs around the democratic values of free speech, due process, being judged by your character and not your identity. The woke crowd, particularly with the help of industry is destroying that. You are canceled if you disagree. You are guilty until proven innocent. Your identity defines your agency. This is un-American and will continue to divide us if not stopped.

Insightful

A real look at the importance of what America strives to be, while understanding the idea of America isn't perfect. Also an insightful take on the changing culture of defining one's place in society as it relates to Capitalism and Democracy.

Original and Significant

This is not just another "look at how crazy these woke people are" book. It's full of new (to me, at least) information about the interaction between woke politics and corporate America, and original perspectives on the impact of that relationship on our democracy.
