→Summary
Hofstader (1964) is a classic examination of fringe groups and conspiracy theories that uses the example of 19th century groups opposed to changes in monetary policy. Hofstadter was inspired by Goldwater's selection as the Republican presidential candidate in 1964.
Himmelstein (1992) and Schoenwald (2001) are both political histories of mid to late 20th-century American conservatism. Farmer (2005) takes this back to the Puritans. Farber (2010) prematurely(?) sees American conservatism as in decline. Lowndes (2008) argues that modern American conservatism grow out of an alliance between norther conservatives and southern segregationists.
Nash (2017) is a manifesto about the future of American conservatism. I may move this piece to be with Brooks on the free enterprise page.
