Moral Politics (book) - Wikipedia This one is my very favorite on the subject.

Are you asking about a book that is some kind of survey of political ideologies with descriptions of them? Or scholarly in-depth studies of particular ideologies? Or books by ideologues trying to explain themselves and their beliefs?

Scholarly in-depth studies of particular ideologies. I guess I should have been more clear. Whoops.

Scratch that. I guess more like a introduction to the various ideologies out there, in one book.

Founding Father: Rediscovering George Washington by Richard Brookhiser is a great, concise look at early American republicanism, and shows how fortunate we were to have such a good start. Garry Wills’s Cincinnatus covers the same ground at much greater length.
