On August 23, Vivek Ramaswamy came to Intelligence Squared to discuss the ideas in his new book Woke, Inc.: Inside the Social Justice Scam. As well as describing what he calls the hypocrisy of the new corporate agenda, he promises to show us a better way forward.

Join us for an exploration of what it means to be a member of society in 2021: a journey that Ramaswamy says begins with cynicism and ends with hope.
