Who is Vivek Ramaswamy: 5 things to know about this 2024 presidential candidate
3. Ramaswamy has written two books
Ramaswamy has also written two books focused on American politics. His first book, published in 2021, is titled Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam. As summarized by Amazon, the book focuses on a “new invisible force at work in our economic and cultural lives.”
Labeling the “invisible force” as “stakeholder capitalism,” the summary decries the ideology as part of the “woke-industrial complex” that “robs us of our money, our voice, and our identity” and “divides us as a people” by “mixing morality with consumerism.”
“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.”

His second book, Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence, was released in 2022. As summarized by Amazon, this book laments that “we’re a nation of victims now” and echoes the rhetoric of his campaign announcement by calling for “a cultural movement in America that puts excellence first again.”
“This fearless, provocative book is for readers who dare to look in the mirror and question their most sacred assumptions about who we are and how we got here. Intricately tracing history from the fall of Rome to the rise of America, weaving Western philosophy with Eastern theology in ways that moved Jefferson and Adams centuries ago, this book describes the rise and the fall of the American experiment itself — and hopefully its reincarnation.”
