Better would be anything from Jefferson. If you really want to get into the weeds, the Anti-Federalists from the 1790’s opposing the Constitution in favor of keeping the original Articles of Confederation that governed the US right after independence.

Jefferson sounds like a barely relevant choice from a very distant time, something that an average libertarianist will shove in people’s faces without telling it fails to describe shortcomings of capitalism highlighted by later thinkers.
But as a starting point, I see how that may be useful. Thank you!

If you’re looking for credible conservatives who actually confront the shortcomings of capitalism, I can’t think of any. But these early writings were pretty well-thought out and are foundational to later ideas, so I think they’re worth reading.
