Guest on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast · 3 books · 1 episode across 1 podcast

Helen Joyce appeared on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast to discuss various societal structures, during which she referenced several foundational texts. She discussed Aldous Huxley's Brave New World in a segment focusing on societal views regarding sexual consent, highlighting the novel's depiction of the implications surrounding the social pressure to accept sexual invitations. Joyce also referenced Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations and The Theory of Moral Sentiments. She brought up The Wealth of Nations to explore market dynamics and the concept of the invisible hand governing economic markets, while using The Theory of Moral Sentiments to distinguish between market-governed spheres and those realms of human life that operate entirely outside of economic markets, governed instead by moral sentiments. Her references to these classic works helped ground the conversation in established economic and philosophical frameworks, illustrating how historical thinkers delineated the boundaries between commerce, social obligation, individual choice, and interpersonal morality.
