Charles Gasparino
A New York Times bestselling author and veteran Fox Business financial journalist’s explosive deep-dive into the progressive madness that has infected and corrupted the world’s biggest corporations, threatening the stability of the global economy—and life as we know it.
How did a bunch of rich dudes who run corporate America become the tools of left-wing radicals? Intimidated by activists on the left, virtually every major corporation in America has embraced woke politics. For years, these businesses could get away with progressive virtual signaling without worrying about alienating customers. Then the anti-woke counter-offensive movement arrived. As high-profile, disastrous backlashes at companies like Anheuser-Busch, Disney, Target and other companies reveal, companies who cave to the demands of left-wing social justice activists are being punished like never before. Customers are fighting back and taking their money elsewhere.
In Go Woke, Go Broke, New York Times bestselling author and veteran financial journalist Charles Gasparino calls out the nonsense and takes listeners inside the radicalization of corporate America, based on numerous insider interviews and exclusive reporting. The story is wilder than you can imagine. Gasparino introduces listeners to America’s most woke corporate leaders, tracing the origins of ESG and "stakeholder investing.” He takes listeners along on for a rollicking ride through corporate America as he shines a light, unlike anyone else, on Fortune 500 companies that have suffered for caving to the silly and irresponsible demands of social justice activists and left-wing interests.
A respected financial reporter who has covered finance for more than 30 years, Gasparino is deeply sourced and has dug into countless episodes involving Wall Street greed, corporate hubris, and government overreach in enterprise. This explosive, untold story and in-depth examination of the seminal players, institutions, and forces of the markets shows that, for the sake of global stability, we must immediately pry the clenched fists of radical activists off the levers of the economy.

Critic reviews
“Long before I even knew what ‘woke’ was, Charlie Gasparino was reporting on a strange leftward lurch among businesses that had nothing to do with making money, but everything to do with making a political statement. I figured it would pass, but there was Charlie pestering me about this movement morphing into something else—a mob, a woke mob, and a very costly mob at that. He details in these pages how it spread, but offers a timely warning it is not entirely slain. Be warned, the fight has changed. But leave it to the best business journalist on the planet to remind us all…the fight is far from over.”—Neil Cavuto, Fox News
“Go Woke, Go Broke is the definitive history of corporate America's failed experiment with woke politics. It offers a stark warning to every business leader considering putting politics ahead of profits and activism ahead of shareholders. Go Woke, Go Broke is woke capitalism's epitaph. Everyone should read it.”—Bernie Marcus, co-founder, The Home Depot and philanthropist
"In this bold new work of investigative excellence, Charles Gasparino breaks the spell of corporate ‘wokeness’ by exposing the rot of left-wing agitprop that prevails in boardrooms across the nation. Playing the victim has become an act of aggression to coerce business leaders into supporting the agenda of extreme progressivism—sacrificing returns to shareholders along the way. Innovation and meritocracy, efficiency and effectiveness, must regain their primacy if corporate America is to reaffirm the qualities that encourage hard work and achievement."—Judy Shelton, senior fellow, Independent Institute

I am not a “hater” and don’t follow boycotting trends so I bought this book wondering if this happens to a lot of companies. I had only heard about Budweiser.
Only an hour or so into it, the book stopped giving facts and got political. You know that saying “you are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts.“? Well…this book is clearly the author’s opinion. The book may have facts but I didn’t get that far. He lost all credibility when he started repeating partisan talking points long since debunked. Too bad he didn’t skip the political rhetoric because I couldn’t get past it and moved it to my rubbish folder with well over 7 hours left.
I’ve seen Gasparino on TV and he seems like a smart, funny guy. I expected more from this book and that is why I ranked it as I did.
