The system justifies itself: they train and pay thousands of economists to believe their own hype, and make it so that those economists are the only “authoritative” sources, and all the voices of sanity are drowned out.

Still, you would think at least one communist somewhere would have written a debunking of modern vulgar economics by now, especially given the fact that with how obviously nonsensical neoclassic economics is, it's probably the weakest pillar of the modern liberal ideology and the easiest to attack for Marxists.

I’m sure there are plenty of books attacking neoclassic economics, but I’m not really familiar with the video content in this space. Maybe some others have suggestions. @TankieTanuki@hexbear.net is there anything you might know of/on TankieTube?

As far as I know there is this one: Why the Labor Theory of Value is Correct - Criticism of Marshall's

And kind of this one: guide to marxist economics introduction episode in which thefinnishbolshevik briefly talk about what Marx called vulgar economics.

And that's about it for criticism from a Marxist perspective I think.
