Many of the entries are directly relevant to the themes being explored here, and I want to just highlight some of the entry on Christopher Lasch:

[A] central theme of [Lasch’s] conservatism runs throughout nearly everything that he wrote: rejection of the liberal doctrine of progress. Other themes relevant to the study of conservatism include an emphasis on human fallibility and the limits of human freedom; a preference for local over centralized authority; a defense of petty-bourgeois virtues, the traditional family, and small proprietary institutions; and the rejection of ethics of personal liberation and the therapeutic state. … Lasch … analyze[d] the political and intellectual bankruptcy of liberal individualism and focused increasingly on the vulnerability of individuals, families, and local institutions to the growth of a paternalistic welfare state and corporate capitalism. … [He] developed a theory of the decline of the bourgeois family that emphasized that the family had gradually succumbed to the pressures of the marketplace and state control through the agencies of bureaucracy, management, and professionalization. … Lasch proceeded to analyze the dependent culture of narcissism that had emerged under the bureaucratic paternalism of the state and business corporations, arguing that with the rise of a therapeutic ethic of leisure and self-fulfillment American progressivism had finally lost all trace of its origins in the nineteenth-century liberalism of self-disciplined economic man. … Lasch … attempt[ed] to recover a longstanding tradition of opposition to progressive ideology grounded in the moral sensibilities of the petty bourgeoisie … [which] included a respect for limits, natural and otherwise; virtuous habits associated with property ownership; a commitment to a calling as opposed to a career; the virtue of loyalty; a preference for hope rather than optimism; and the ability to resist the vices of envy, resentment, and servility. “The central conservative insight,” Lasch wrote in 1990, “is that human freedom is constrained by the natural conditions of human life, by the weight of history, by the fallibility of human judgment, and by the perversity of the human will.”
