An audio history from 1986 on the American Economy from 1870 to the end of World War II by Libertarian and Economics Nobel Prize Winner Murray Rothbard. Includes many references in the the series to go back and look at. It is also available as a free podcast. I just can't recommend it enough. There's so much hidden but real history in there.

The lectures begin with how religion and voting demographics changed in the late 1800s, what paved the way for Democrats to take control of Congress in the 1890s for the first time since before the Civil War, and how the railroad industry started and was brought down by businessmen and politicians alike (with the backgrounds of these individuals as well).
