“Coauthors David Prescott and Michael Ashley conjure the storytelling power of satirists like Jonathan Swift and George Orwell in this compelling, desperately needed book. They bravely shine a light on the grave dangers our nation faces, especially our armed forces. This should be required reading, especially for anyone in the military.”

“Want to know who the real loser is when it comes to ESG? The everyday investor, especially retirees who require financial vehicles that actually perform when they leave the workforce. It’s past time a book like this reveals the dangers behind this toxic ideology. Put simply, Creative Destruction shows the emperor really has no clothes when it comes to this form of investing.”

“From my vantage point as an elected leader, ESG is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Its adherents zealously profess to care about the environment using this dubious corporate rating score. Instead, as this book so expertly reveals, these policies do nothing to save our planet. They simply give more power to bureaucrats, undermining our ability to produce the energy and resources that make America such a productive world leader. Say no to the delusion and say yes to investing in the real people who keep our country going.”

“Creative Destruction is a crucial and timely work that exposes the fallacies of ESG investments and highlights the need for pragmatic energy policies. In an era where ESG mandates threaten to undermine the very foundations of capitalism, this book stands as a beacon of rationality and foresight. W. David Prescott and Michael Ashley’s arguments resonate deeply with my experience in the energy sector, where the emphasis on genuine, productive investment is paramount. “Creative Destruction eloquently and expertly lays out the dangers of ESG to any free society. This book should be required reading in high schools and colleges around the country.”

“ESG metrics are one of the biggest threats to freedom in America today. These social credit scores are fundamentally transforming our economy, culture, and society. Unfortunately, most Americans still don’t understand them. That’s why Creative Destruction is such a powerful book. It clearly explains how ESG works and, more importantly, shows readers the dark future that’s ahead if ESG is allowed to thrive. If you care about fixing America’s broken economy and saving our country, this book is a must-read.”

“Creative Destruction is an essential read for anyone who values freedom, prosperity, civilization, or common sense. Aside from offering a devastating critique of the ‘ESG’ scam and the enormous danger it poses, Creative Destruction offers desperately needed solutions. This book should be required reading. I can’t recommend it highly enough.”

“Creative Destruction is a compelling and timely work that delves into the critical challenges facing independent energy production in Texas and the United States. As the CEO of Pantera Energy and the current chairman of the board for the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, I strongly believe in the necessity of maintaining our nation’s energy independence. This book highlights the pressing issue of ESG mandates, which not only threaten our economic stability but also pose a significant risk to our national security. W. David Prescott and Michael Ashley provide an insightful analysis that every energy producer and policymaker should heed.”

“I spent the last two years fighting to stop the World Health Organization from declaring and then taking control of public health emergencies—globally. I learned that elites are trying to centralize control over the entire world under the guise of making the world a better, fairer place. David Prescott and Michael Ashley explain our peculiar era, in which central control of information enabled the imposition of bizarre business practices in service to a future One World Corporation. Read it and weep. Then fight back.”
