Former CEO of CKE Restaurants, Inc. Andrew F. Puzder exposes how the secretive consolidation of financial power under the guise of ESG represents a new collectivist threat to the free market.Over the last thirty-five years, asset manager mega-giants BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard have accumulated unprecedented levels of stock ownership in virtually every major US company. Voting the shares they hold for clients allows these companies to force their own environmental, social, and governance or ESG agenda on the American corporate sector and, by extension, on all of us.An asset managers traditional duty is to maximize returns for its investors, but these financial elites expand their duties through stakeholder capitalism, the idea that a company is responsible not only for its actual shareholders, but for everyone who is affected by the companywhich translates toeveryonein the community. Thus, they can impose their preferred ESG goals under the guise of benefitting an amorphous group of non-investorsa group that has no say over whether ESG goals actually benefit them.This elite-dominated economic system is nothing more than socialism in sheeps clothing. ESG defines the champagne socialist agenda that would devastate the working and middle classes globally. Now, in the face of rising opposition, these financial elites are suddenly rebrandingshifting their terminology to conceal their intent.A Tyranny for the Good of its Victimsexposes how, although they may abandon the acronym ESG, these elites have pursuedand will continue to pursuetheir ESG goals: to transform our consumer-driven free-market economy into one that is subject to their elitist demands, overriding the will of the people whom they deem incapable of self-government.
