Rod - I agree that faith in the market is largely settled on the right. And a good thing too. However, you're still stealing bases. Faith in the market is not synonymous with faith in materialism. Nor is it synonymous with the idea that the market is the answer to every problem. The fight over embryonic stem cell research, the rejection of "organ markets" and the like is proof enough of that.
Also, your assumption that "Mainstream conservatism" censors anti-capitalist critiques is just plain weird. National Review — which you used to work for and your book touts as the flagship journal of the right — is hosting this blog! The piece Caleb linked to by Fred Ikle was a cover story for National Review at the dawn of the much more libertarian Gingrich "revolution." If you think Irving Kristol couldn't get published today anywhere on the right about any topic he chooses (including in the Wall Street Journal), I think you're crazy. Ditto Russell Kirk. Certainly the anti-free trade The American Conservative would have no problem with an anti-free market argument, though it wouldn't publish Kristol — but, as we all know, their objection would't be based on a jealous defense of the free market.
I think the Crunchies are too desperate to see yourselves as rebels against a regime that does not oppress you.
