Summary
A young entrepreneur makes the case that politics has no place in business and sets out a new vision for the future of capitalism.
The modern woke-industrial complex divides us as a people. By mixing morality with consumerism, corporate 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 lack both.
Vivek Ramaswamy is a traitor to his class. He’s founded multibillion-dollar enterprises, led a biotech company as CEO, 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.
But this book not only rips back the curtain on the new corporatist agenda, it offers a better way forward. Corporate 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 a member of society in 2021 - a journey that begins with cynicism and ends with hope.

Completing this book was a challenge
So why the five star review? Written from an American perspective for an American audience, there are lessons within for all of us, whether we are American or not. Vivek argues from core principals that make sense and he delivers answers. He is a beacon of good sense in a world that at times, to this reviewer, seems logically challenged. It takes bravery and robustness to write something that may in the first instance be unpopular, but truth is not a popularity contest. Read Woke Inc, it’s worth challenging yourself. E pluribus unum!

Keeps me thinking
Very insightful book with easy to verify data that the author picked from. Incredible to listen to all the various dubious stories from corporation capitalizing on a generation that seems to be in pursuit of some greater. In the first half it is sometimes easy to poke holes in trains of thought. The second half ties it neatly together with a set of ideas and plans that make sense. They just do.

Powerful and eye-opening
If you thought you knew what woke was, you won’t till you have read/heard this book.
Vivek beautifully and surgically dismantles Woke Totalitarianism so you can see it clearly in all its ugly glory. It hides in plain sight and has power over you because you don’t realise what it is doing.
He has some excellent ideas on legal positions to face down the bullies and the mob. I hope he is putting his money behind those positions.
I strongly recommend you read this book. It will open your eyes

Could have been great, if more focused on a common humanity
Overall a good analysis of some of the beginnings and features of the activist-corporate alliance. However I feel this is let down by the America-centrism. I get that Vivek is American and has an American audience primarily, but like many other American thinkers I feel what could be a timely commentary on this now worldwide-phenomena is let down by its reliance on an identity that I see as just another in the many that he complains about. I.e. the identity of American nationalism. We should be aiming to ensure people worldwide overcome their differences and reject all of these divisive ideologies.

A must read!
This book articulated my concerns about woke culture, as well as surprisingly outlining the loss of deep routed cultures through capitalism and the free market, and the risks of mixing these ideals with politics. It highlights the corruption with multiple examples and the probable bleak outcomes to the world we now find ourselves in, but with optimistic ideas how to bring people of all diversity (physical attributes and diversity of thought) together.
Will re:listen to ensure I absorb it all.

Important book.
Very helpful in explaining this sometimes crazy, sometimes creepy movement.
I don't think one book is enough to understand wokeness completely but is an excellent primer and is an easy listen. I will probably read it again and would recommend it.

interesting perspective(s)
definately unexpected and holds somewhat contrarian to conventional conversation material, but I think that was the point.
Expanded the array of mental models I use to view and analyse the world.
