→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 northern 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.
McGirr (2015) is and Nickerson (2009) are a social history histories of mid 20th -century conservatism in Orange County, southern California. Williamson, Skopal, and Coggin (2011) is a sociological study of the emergence of the tea Party with participant observer research in Massachusetts.
Stewart (2017) led me to research James W. Fitfield, Jr., a Congregationalist minister who "set about convincing America’s Protestant clergy that America was a Christian nation in which government must be kept from interfering with the expression of God’s will in market economics." Toy (1970) is a history of Fitfield's spiritual mobilization movement. Harvey (1971) discusses the tensions between Fitfield's congregation and its parent denomination. Nickerson (2009) is about the role of conservative in southern California politics. This article should be moved to the history section. The other articles in this subsection are from publications Rice does not subscribe to.
