DeSantis' writings suggest ESG could feature prominently in the GOP presidential primary if he runs in 2024 against Donald Trump.
"Both the legislative and executive branches should use their respective authorities to defend individuals against large corporations that are wielding what is effectively public power," DeSantis writes in "The Courage to Be Free," which published Tuesday.
DeSantis' book tears into ESG in multiple chapters, while invoking the politically loaded and nebulous term "woke" nearly four-dozen times. DeSantis' focus on ESG suggests that the multitrillion-dollar issue could feature prominently in the Republican presidential primary if the governor launches a 2024 White House bid, as he is widely expected to do.
DeSantis asserts that ESG marks the culmination of efforts by "the ruling class," which has been co-opted by "woke" ideological interests, to "achieve through the economy what is could never achieve through the ballot box." But "when ESG activism forces changes to a nation's energy posture, it represents the imposition of a policy through extraconstitutional means," he argues.
