From Nike’s adoption of Colin Kaepernick to Gillette’s engagement with the toxic
masculinity debate, the 21st century has seen a sharp increase in corporations taking
over public morality, a phenomenon which has come to be known as ‘woke capitalism’.
Carl Rhodes presents a lively and fascinating history of woke capitalism, from 1950s
corporate social responsibility, through 1980s neoliberalism, alongside the adoption
and mutation of the term ‘woke’ from Black American culture, bringing us right up to
current-day debates.
Examining the political causes that woke capitalism has adopted, and the social
causes that it has not, he argues that this surreptitious extension of capitalism has
serious implications for us all.
“This insightful book traces the history and manifestations of ‘woke’ ideas in relation to
big business, capitalism and democracy - reading it will reveal how awake you really
are!”
