snousleQuoted on Marginal Revolution:
"One striking difference is that the iconic conservative works are about ideology. By contrast, the most influential liberal books of the era are about policy issues... Conservatives have big appetites for ideology; liberals don’t. There are, of course, taxonomies of conservative schools of thought. People on the right classify themselves as libertarians, neoconservatives, social conservatives, traditional conservatives, and the like, and spill oceans of ink defining, debating, and further subdividing these schools of thought. There is no parallel taxonomy on the left."
