A Government Out of Sight: The Mystery of National Authority in Nineteenth-Century America
I think the key word here is emphasis. I'm not sold that Balogh introduces completely new evidence of government intervention in the 19th Century. What he does, however, is stress aspects of government authority that have been glossed over. This is a great book for a sweeping history of the nineteenth century and could easily be used as a textbook for that time.
