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." -- Inside front jacket flap. 650 0 $a Corporations $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Capitalism $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Business and politics. 650 0 $a Corporations $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Consumption (Economics) $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Social justice. 650 0 $a Corporate culture. 941 $a 2 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240223011226.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20231109010456.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AE9B55887ECD11EE8E6E5E0C26ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
