I very much enjoyed Growth of the Soil, which is frequently re-posted as an example of a good conservative novel. It moved me to a state of productive humility which, unfortunately, few overtly politicized works do.

Not a conservative or fan of conservative theory but Hayek's The Fatal Conceit is a great point to start. It's about theory and not economics, unlike older conservative literature it's still pretty politically relevant today.

Any books that focus on conservative ideals while also exploring man's ability to improve and achieve his goals thru the sheer power of his will and intelligence ?
Growth of the soil is a decent suggestion in this regard, but I know there's more

Maistre's Considerations on France is a logical place to start, as the French Revolution in many ways is the origin of modern conservatism. He's a real treat to read. Almost puts Hitler to shame.

Books didn't explicitly make me conservative: taking an economics class for the first time did.
Maybe try some Hobbes or Locke

You don't really understand conservatism by your OP. You want to be a less liberal liberal, a conservative is a whole other paradigm. You'll probably have to start with fag-tier MAGApedes and Steven Crowder and Shekelpiro and work your way up over the years. There's really no shortcut, you need to know what you oppose before you can oppose it.

Where does all this "economics classes made me conservative" shill come from? It isn't really until you reach upper division econ courses that ideology begins informing theory. Sure buddy, you took an introductory econ course and learned the definitions of opportunity cost and the production possibility frontier; that doesn't make you Milton Friedman.
Anyways I just don't really understand it because surely there are not THIS many econ majors in the world

Conservative politicians always claim to be doing things for the "good of the economy" when they're just helping their fatcat friends get fatter for personal gain.
I think larpers either believe this line, or are rich themselves and want lower taxes.
