Exposing ESG’s Hidden Agenda

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is a clever ruse. It’s not a naked power grab—but rather, an insidious deception playing on the public’s desire to do good. While ESG is touted as the answer to systemic challenges, it is more accurately a cover to centralize power between state and corporations for unprecedented control, stealing liberty and prosperity.

Praise for Creative Destruction

“I applaud Creative Destruction for its sharp dissection of ESG mandates and their unexpected impacts on America’s farmers and rural landscape. The book reveals how these well-meaning policies often backfire, undermining the farms and food systems they seek to protect. Prescott and Ashley’s insights are a wake-up call for anyone dedicated to food production, advocating for a more balanced and realistic approach to environmental, social, and governance standards in agriculture. This compelling narrative is a must-read for those invested in the future of American farming.”
