American Conservatism in the Age of Enterprise 1865-1910
by Robert Green McCloskey
I found McCloskey very enlightening when I read him back in the 1990s because he offers real insight into two areas that I think are very important in understanding conservatism. One is the rise of social Darwinism. The other important area is the role of a very conservative Supreme Court in our history. He talks about Judge Stephen Field and I think in the debates we are about to have over what I see as increasingly activist courts, it is very useful to revisit the conservative activism in the courts in the Gilded Age.
