"Woke Inc: Inside Corporate America's Social Justice Scam" by Vivek Ramaswamy is a thought-provoking and controversial book that delves into the intersection of business and social justice activism.

The book explores how companies have embraced concepts like diversity, equity, and inclusion in their marketing campaigns and corporate culture, while often failing to address systemic issues of inequality within their own organizations. Ramaswamy raises important questions about the authenticity of corporate social responsibility efforts and the impact of these initiatives on real social change.
While some readers may find Ramaswamy's critiques of corporate activism to be overly harsh or cynical, others will appreciate his bold and unapologetic take on the issue. Overall, "Woke Inc" is a thought-provoking read that challenges readers to think critically about the role of corporations in social justice movements. Whether you agree with Ramaswamy's conclusions or not, the book is sure to spark important conversations about the complex relationship between business and social change.
