When
In The Dictatorship of Woke Capital, financial analyst Steve Soukup examines how corporate America, traditionally focused on non-political goals of production and profit, has been changed in recent years by progressive ideology. Activists, and some insiders, are now demanding that for-profit companies endorse a laundry list of left-wing political positions in order to be acceptable members of society. Concepts like corporate social responsibility; socially responsible investing; and environmental, social and governance (ESG) theory are increasingly driving investing and regulatory decisions.
