Summary "A young entrepreneur makes the case that politics has no place in business, and sets out a new vision for the future of American capitalism. Theres 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 Americas business and political leaders robs us of our money, our voice, and our identity. Vivek Ramaswamy is a traitor to his class. Hes founded multibillion-dollar enterprises, led a biotech company as CEO, he became a hedge fund partner in his twenties, trained as a scientist at Harvard and a lawyer at Yale, and grew up the child of immigrants in a small town in Ohio. Now he takes us behind the scenes into corporate boardrooms and five-star conferences, into Ivy League classrooms and secretive nonprofits, to reveal the defining scam of our century."-- Book jacket.
