Schafer and Richard Johnston, The End of Southern Exceptionalism: Class, Race, and
Partisan Change in the Postwar South (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2007),
make a similar argument. Other books that engage this critical question include Kruse,

Race, Rights, and Taxes on American Politics (New York: Norton, 1991); Jason Sokol, There

libertarian catchphrase. Ludwig von Mises used it to describe collective bargaining.
