Try Koch's book on market based management. Seems pretty close to Milton Friedman-style libertarianism to me.

Check out Democracy in Chains by Nancy MacLean. I think it might be exactly what you are looking for. Check out my brief review to see if it fits the bill: http://itseemstome.com/2017/11/review-democracy-in-chains …

Dark Money by Jane Meyer. Opinionated but gives good history of their involvement in politics and their ideologies

The Market Based Management book reads as an attempt to reconcile that cognitive dissonance. It's inspiring in its theoretical ambition and integrity. It's disappointing in its lack of detail.
