Introduction: The Invisible Force of Woke Capitalism
As I reflect on the current state of corporate America, I am compelled to expose a new and insidious force that has infiltrated every aspect of our economic and cultural lives. This force, which I term "woke capitalism," is the central theme of my book, *Woke, Inc.*. It is an ideology that masquerades as a champion of social justice and diversity but ultimately robs us of our money, our voice, and our identity. Growing up as the child of immigrants in a small town in Ohio, I never imagined I would become a pharmaceutical entrepreneur, a biotech CEO, and a hedge fund partner by my 20s. My journey, marked by training as a scientist at Harvard and a lawyer at Yale, has given me a unique perspective on the inner workings of corporate America. Now, I take you behind the scenes into corporate boardrooms, five-star conferences, Ivy League classrooms, and secretive nonprofits to reveal the defining scam of our century.
