Interesting thread. I would add to this discussion that the particular strain of modern social conservatism that celebrates the capitalist market (as opposed to merely accepting it as reality while cautioning against social innovation) is mostly a product of the Cold War. Note how strongly American social conservatives emphasize individual morality, personal responsibility, and the work ethic - to a degree that is uncommon among social conservatives in most other parts of the world.
