Corporate Cancer: How to Work Miracles and Save Millions by Curing Your Company
The corporate cancer of social justice convergence is costing corporations literal billions of dollars even as it drives both productive employees and loyal customers away, destroys valuable brands, and eats away at market capitalizations. From Internet startups to entertainment giants, convergence is killing corporations as they focus on social justice virtue signaling at the expense of good business practices, sales, profits, and retaining loyal customers.
In CORPORATE CANCER, Vox Day explains how you can fight social justice convergence in your own organization for both personal and corporate profit, and why you must do so if you want to keep your job.

Corporate Cancer sheds light on the pervasive yet insidious phenomenon of sjw convergence.
Vox Day succeeds at separating his bias and opinions from the objective and material economic reality of the sjw occupation of corporations through infiltration, and their repurposing for social justice activism. He dwells only the bare minimum on how to diagnose convergence but doesn't leave the curious reader without recourse because he has already completed 2 excellent entries in The Laws of Social Justice trilogy expounding what is a sjw or how they function. He shows through various case studies how convergence negatively impacts a business' finances, productivity, and image, through diverting a company's resources away from performing its primary and indispensable function--to deliver goods/services to clients in exchange for money--towards engaging in fatal political activism of an... unchristian nature, to put it politely.
By the end of the book Vox substantiates and justifies the apt comparison made at first between convergence and cancer.
One of its great qualities is its brevity. Because it makes it appropriate for the people who need to read it most, which are very busy business people.
Some books, especially those dealing with controversial matters, can be written in an almost encyclopedic way, penetrating every nook of their subject and anticipating all objections.
The exhaustive method has its value but I personally prefer the succinct style Corporate Cancer is written in, giving the minimum examples necessary for a firm grasp of the concept, with a delivery that through exercise of sound logic allows for extrapolation of one extra layer of meaning away from the core principles. It is an effective and pleasant way to occupy those left over cognitive resources unused during normal reading, thereby fully engaging the reader. Well done all around.

An excellent guide to identifying and eliminating the rot that is plaguing your company, or stopping it before it spreads. Highly recommend for anyone with a job.

Possibly his best work.
From the gripping introduction, I was hooked. His clear prose, carefully built arguments and refreshing pull-no-punches approach make this a very persuasive read. I was curious going into it, and completely convinced by the end. A must read.

As a long time supporter of Vox Day and Owen Benjamin, and someone with first hand experience of corporate cancer, this book was cathartic. The thesis is that it's a bad idea for a business to ban, censor, speak down to and/or mistreat its customers and employees. For this thesis to be revelatory in any way to any business in what is, for now, the world's largest economy is and has been shocking. But such is the nature of American corporate culture at the moment and the way Vox dissects it is as humorous as it is educational.
Social Justice is a vile scourge that very obviously destroys productivity and efficiency, and it does so with pride. It is, ironically, the antithesis of justice. Hopefully the businesses and the culture of America will learn that at some point. For the time being, the solutions for the average person and business owner are presented well in this book from someone with a bunch of experience.
Also, side note, while this is usually said about books you don't like: my favorite part was the end. Not when the book ended, but the appendix. Pax Dickinson's account of leading a Rolling Stone blogger on a wild goose chase had me rolling.

Interesting book with some useful insights. I think anyone who considers themselves a serious investor should learn about the concept of "convergence" and consider the implications of the convergence process on their investments.

A small book on what happens if a company loses its core values and goes all-in into diversity and inclusion.
The answer is, nothing good, the company get converged.
It wouldn't be so sad if I hadn't had a chance to observe it from the first rows.
