There’s a new invisible force at work in our economic and cultural lives. It affects every advertisement we see and every product we buy, from our morning coffee to a new pair of shoes. “Stakeholder capitalism” makes rosy promises of a better, more diverse, environmentally friendly world, but in reality, this ideology championed by America’s business and political leaders robs us of our money, our voice, and our identity.

This modern ESG-industrial complex divides us as a people. By mixing morality with consumerism, America’s 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 as Americans lack both.

Join us for a presentation by “Woke, Inc.” author Vivek Ramaswamy as he discusses these issues further. Vivek also plans to speak to our guests about a better way forward, a journey that begins with cynicism and ends with hope.

Complimentary drinks and light appetizers will be provided for in-person attendees. You are also welcome to tune in to the event online via livestream.
