Uncovering the Truth Behind Woke, Inc.: Examining Corporate America's Social Justice Push

CalHunter: Interesting read. You will be surprised at what companies participate in this movement. Vivek explains why companies participate and how they use the movement to cover for other problems.

Liz: Wow, this is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. I learned a TON about so many things and have a much better perspective on what it truly means to be an American and why what’s happening in politics is so bad. He shares so many interesting insights (based on his personal experiences) on Wall Street, Silicon Valley, Big Pharma, the FDA, politics, Harvard & Yale and so much more. Vivek is an insanely inspirational human and clearly a fantastic writer as well. I’m kind of sad that I finished the book because I enjoyed it that much!!!

Eric: Vivek is the only candidate speaking the truths the cold hard truths other candidates are not willing to share. This is rare in the current political climate and we should support him

Jason Castellan: It exposes the agenda of corporations behind using woke attitudes to drive their own profits in a hypocritical way. Interesting to see the perspective on this. A simple read.

LenZen: Although I bought this book shortly after it was released it was not a high priority for me to read and it sat on my shelf for many months. My original feeling was that it was likely to be just another book trying to cash in on the anti-woke backlash. I now wish I had read it earlier since it is definitely first rate.

Vivek Ramaswamy's greatest strength when analyzing the growing influence of wokeism, including ESG, on corporate America is his ability to distill what is going on down to the most fundamental assumptions and discuss those assumptions directly. Ramaswamy has a background in biology and he has been a founder and CEO of the pharmaceutical company Roivant. He also has a JD from Yale Law. The combined backgrounds in business and law make him particularly adept at providing legal arguments against rising wokeism in corporate America.

Early on Ramaswamy recounts his experience growing up in America but making periodic visits to the village his father grew up in back in India. From these visits Ramaswamy witnessed first hand how quickly capitalism brought some parts of India out of poverty. He credits capitalism with essentially destroying the caste system and...

Steven H Propp: Author Vivek Ramaswamy wrote in the Introduction to this 2021 book, “As a young twenty-first century capitalist myself, the thing I was supposed to do was shut up and play along… applaud diversity and inclusion, and must on how to make the world a better place at conferences… The most important part of the trick was to stay mum about it. Now I’m violating the code by pulling back the curtain and showing you what’s really going on in corporate boardrooms across America. Why am I defecting? I’m fed up with corporate America’s game of pretending to care about justice in order to make money… It demands that a small group of investors and CEOs determine what’s good for society rather than our democracy at large. This new trend… [is] dividing our country to a breaking point… Wokeness has remade American capitalism in its own image… These days, white progressives have appropriated ‘stay woke’ as a general-purpose term that refers to being aware of all identity-based injustices… Being woke means waking up to these invisible power structures that govern the social universe… Basically, being woke means obsessing about race, gender, and sexual orientation…...
