Across 2 podcasts. Every show Josh Hawley appears on, in one place — not just one.
Josh Hawley appeared on several podcasts to discuss political ideology, conservative vision, and his own published writings. During an appearance on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, Senator Josh Hawley referenced Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations to emphasize that Smith's theories of capitalism are embedded in a specific social context shaped heavily by biblical influences. In another episode of the same podcast, he mentioned The 1619 Project by Nikole Hannah-Jones and The New York Times Magazine to explain how the American left views the true founding of the United States as originating from slavery and oppression rather than the events of 1776. While appearing on The Realignment, Josh Hawley discussed his own book, The Tyranny of Big Tech. He referenced the book to explain how politicians in both major American political parties historically grew comfortable with monopoly power, tracing this trend all the way back to Theodore Roosevelt's days of trust-busting. Furthermore, he used his book to outline his perspective on Theodore Roosevelt's policies, noting both the aspects to avoid and the historical lessons to be learned. He also referred to moments of candor from technology executives documented within his pages to argue for ongoing concern over corporate power.

The Wealth of Nations
The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith is a foundational 1776 text by the Scottish thinker often regarded as the father of modern economics, exploring free markets, capitalism, and the mechanics of national wealth.
Discussed“I mean, which to your point, I think is that if you look at his theory of capitalism in The Wealth of Nations, if you look at his theory of moral sentiments, which I think he actually wrote beforehand, you can see that it's embedded in a particular social context, which is frankly very biblically informed.”
