Capitalist Propaganda: Language Manipulation in Economics Courses
The second half of Richard Wolff’s radio interview on this link contains a discussion with economist Michael Hudson about natural language and mathematical manipulation of basic economics courses. Hudson seems to be an economic institutionalist, like Thorstein Veblen and Wolff and is, of course, a Marxist. What would really be good is if the two of them discussed their differences about Marx. Maybe another time.
