Every book Vishal Mangalwadi recommended on podcasts
Vishal Mangalwadi is a Christian philosopher, social reformer, and author. During an appearance on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, he discussed and recommended several significant texts concerning history, economics, and religion. Mangalwadi recommended David Gress's book From Plato to NATO, explaining that it helped him understand why American universities had deceived themselves regarding the historical origins of freedom. He also highlighted a research thesis-turned-book titled Let There Be by Anthony B. Wilson, noting how the work documents the creation of modern Indian vernacular languages by early Bible translators. Additionally, Mangalwadi cited Adam Smith's foundational economic classic, The Wealth of Nations, published in 1776, to support a broader argument regarding the comparative economic productivity of free workers versus enslaved laborers. Through these references, Mangalwadi emphasized the profound historical, linguistic, and economic impacts of Western thought and religious movements on global civilizations, education systems, and societal development over the centuries.
