<\/picture> <\/div>\nCharles Gasparino<\/a> is a senior correspondent for the Fox Business Network and a columnist for the New York Post.<\/i>\u00a0He’s also the author of the new book\u00a0Go Woke, Go Broke: The Inside Story of the Radicalization of Corporate America<\/a><\/i>. Gasparino analyzes major missteps by companies such as Anheuser-Busch, Target, and Disney and explores how CEOs and top management become entranced by things like stakeholder capitalism; diversity, equity, and inclusion programs; and environmental, social, and governance plans to the detriment of customer satisfaction, public relations, and the bottom line.<\/p>\n Four years out from the COVID-19 pandemic and the death of George Floyd, Gasparino talks with Reason<\/em>‘s Nick Gillespie about whether peak woke has ended and why he views people like Ed Rensi, the former head of McDonald’s, as models for how businesses can make profits while being socially responsible. They also discuss how the 2024 election will impact the economy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 0:00\u2014Introduction<\/p>\n 1:12\u2014The origins of Gasparino’s book, Go Woke Go Broke<\/em><\/p>\n 9:24\u2014Bud Light X Dylan Mulvaney controversy<\/p>\n 18:05\u2014Corporate wokeness started with CEOs<\/p>\n 25:06\u2014Trump-world tried to save Bud Light<\/p>\n 31:35\u2014Ben & Jerry’s pioneered corporate political activism<\/p>\n 33:13\u2014Wokeness at Disney<\/p>\n 45:22\u2014Does wokeness sell?<\/p>\n 47:28\u2014Where is the corporate advocacy for Uyghurs?<\/p>\n 49:36\u2014BlackRock, Larry Fink & ESG<\/p>\n 59:00\u2014How ESG worsened inflation<\/p>\n 1:00:56\u2014Ed Rensi’s innovative interventions<\/p>\n 1:05:52\u2014Corporate wokeness is in recession<\/p>\n 1:07:30\u2014CEOs against campus wokeness<\/p>\n 1:10:00\u2014Would Donald Trump or Kamala Harris be worse for the economy?<\/p>\n Today’s sponsors:<\/p>\n The post Charles Gasparino: 'Woke' Hypocrisy Is Hurting Businesses<\/a> appeared first on Reason.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The business journalist discusses his new book Go Woke, Go Broke and how CEOs accelerated corporate political activism only to regret its impact on the economy. …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[19,9],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-105389","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-policy","7":"category-politics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/3rdcitynews.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/3rdcitynews.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/3rdcitynews.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/3rdcitynews.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/3rdcitynews.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105389"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/3rdcitynews.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105389\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/3rdcitynews.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/3rdcitynews.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/3rdcitynews.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
