New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2024. Society has never been more egalitarian - in theory. Prejudice is taboo, and diversity is strongly valued. At the same time, social and economic inequality have exploded. In We Have Never Been Woke, Musa al-Gharbi argues that these trends are closely related, each tied to the rise of a new elite - the symbolic capitalists. He examines how their genuine beliefs prevent them from recognizing how they contribute to social problems - or how their actions regularly provoke backlash against the social justice causes they champion.
