The Tin Pillars of Economic Wisdom

The American Economic Foundation moved back to Cleveland in the 80s and instead of hosting World's Fair they launched a massive mailing list across the country essentially seeding the United States with far right free market values. They poured over Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman and marveled at Frederick Bastiat's denunciations of socialism as legal plunder. The book The Wilderness, which is now shamefully outdated, was published in like 2016 when the election started out. It was about how that giant 16 candidate Republican primary slate came about. But it does give some good background into Mr. Story who educated his students about the brightest minds of free market economics.
