What is “woke capitalism”? In the eyes of David Azerrad, why are large corporations now taking stances on highly controversial topics that they would have previously avoided?

Why does Azerrad think that the radical left has abandoned its push for egalitarian utopia?

And what does he see as the way out of the “culture wars” in America today?

This is American Thought Leaders ??, and I’m Jan Jekielek.
