Was thinking about this -- if you haven't read Rothbard's _Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought_ and/or his _The Progressive Era_ -- I think you would find them simply fascinating. Especially in the former, he bucks the trend of ignoring the religious ideologies (specifically, eschatology) of economic thinkers to see how those 'top-level' / 'upstream' concerns (i.e., metaphysics and eschatology) impacted their tactical-level / 'downstream' political and economic positions.
