ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Woke, Inc. by Vivek Ramaswamy delves into the burgeoning phenomenon of corporate America embracing progressive social values. The book uncovers a perceived "scam" where companies allegedly prioritize social justice initiatives not out of genuine concern, but as a strategic maneuver to enhance their financial standing and expand their influence. Ramaswamy explores the rise of stakeholder capitalism and the complexities of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing, questioning the true motivations behind corporate wokeness. He examines how this trend intertwines with consumer behavior and the power dynamics within corporations, suggesting a disconnect between stated ideals and actual practices.
