So the thing to intreudthing thing about burnham in that particular time period is he was making the transition from he was a very active member of the trotsk movement 19 thirties, and then he fell out with, he corresponded a lot with trotsky, but i don't, don't think they ever met. But then he fell out with trotsky, and then he sort of went his own way. And then, as as we know, as o said, he would drift over to the william buffy junior, a national review camp. But when he wrote the managerial revolution in the late thirties, early forties, and this other excellent book called the macavalians, defenders of freedom, he so he was sort of caught in between those, those two things, and he was really in this period of creativer ideological flux. So you have a very, a interesting framework where he combines marxis material analysis with a italian elete theory, which we don't get a lot of. So that's one thing i can say about james burnam, is he's really only interesting to me in that particular time period. Afterwards, he he becomes kind of like a conservative, anti communist hack basicn u. No, his later work is not very interesting to me. And then the other the dynamic you mention, where thethe conservatives look back at the 19 fifties, they love, you know, they love the the stability of society, but they don't consider the economic underpinnings as that. You know, michael lynde actually has he great book that he wrote in 20 12 called land of promise, and economic history of the united states. And he looks at american history through the lends of the hamilton versus jefferson bicotomy.
