Why people recommend it
The Tyranny of Big Tech by Josh Hawley is a critical examination of major technology monopolies and the political and economic forces that enabled them. The book was featured across multiple podcast appearances by its author, Senator Josh Hawley. On The Rubin Report, host Dave Rubin introduced Hawley as his guest and discussed the book's controversial publishing history, noting that it had almost failed to be published before ultimately reaching the public. Rubin frequently referenced the title throughout the interview to explore the various topics and grievances outlined within its pages. Similarly, on an episode of The Realignment, co-host Marshall Kosloff brought up the book to frame a broader conversation regarding antitrust enforcement and the core problems posed by big tech companies. During this discussion, Hawley utilized his own book to contextualize historical precedents, explaining how politicians in both major political parties began growing increasingly comfortable with monopoly power all the way back to the days of Theodore Roosevelt and his trust-busting efforts. Hawley also referenced specific moments documented in the book, such as moments of candor from executives like Mark Zuckerberg, to illustrate why these immense concentrations of corporate power ought to deeply concern the public and policymakers alike.

“and that's why i hope this book one of the reasons i go all the way back to the gilded age is i'm trying to to challenge the paradigm of both right and left in a sense right now and i'm trying to break out of this stalemate by saying let's let's think a little differently here about what it”
