Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam
Recommendation
In his scathing and controversial critique of “woke capitalism,” entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy argues passionately that big business cynically deploys progressive-sounding rhetoric and symbols to accumulate more power and sell more products. Many corporations, he believes, promote socially conscious messages as a smoke screen to distract from their malfeasance and enhance their bottom line.While some elements of his argument may be more convincing than others, Ramaswamy’s instant New York Times best-selling polemic makes a strong case for the importance of pluralism in democratic societies.
