I've just finished reading Steve Keen's debunking economics and can't recommend it more, it explodes neoclassical economics so well that I still almost can't believe it is all correct.

Anyway does anyone else have any other related materials on this issue?

It is quite easy to read and you don't have to know much about neoclassical economics.
And its about 300 pages.

My economics teacher had a picture of Karl Marx on the wall and when 1 student made fun of Communism my teacher had a spaz and started to prove him wrong. :P

We still had to learn Bogerouise economics though.

Beware of "Marxian" economics proffessors and the like. Most of them are petty-bourgeois intellectuals with no connection to the class struggle, and no urge to have one.

You get alot of useless ivory tower shit from these types.

I know from experience.
This guy is certainly no Marxian, in fact he is not even socialist, but the book it in the faults in conventional economics.

university professors are proletarians, they mostly subsist solely from their wage.
