For Gingrich, you can read his memo Language: A Key Mechanism of Control.

If youre being honest, then youre going to need to look at historical material like Locke & Hobbes to get a foundation.
Modern conserativism… aggitation… can bw traced through Gingrich in the House in the early 90s, I cant think of the book off the top of my head but theres a pretty decent record of how he did manipulative things with unmanned cspan cameras at the time.

Gingrich’s “Contract With America” book was such word salad. Every other page contradicted the others.

This. Perhaps even some “Wealth of Nations” and similar.

Adam Smith is less right-wing than the cargo-cultists think.

True, but it is in part a philosophical basis that OP seems to want to understand, so I felt it was relevant.
