I listened to the recent episode from "The Deprogram" podcast which had Richard Wolff on. He made an excellent point about how the modern day field of Economics utilizes a cryptic language commonly parroted by media yet unfamiliar to the average person (record inflation, stocks, federal reserve's actual role, etc) as a means to mystify and grant legitimacy to capitalism as something only "Qualified Experts" (who just so happen to support Capitalism) have authority to speak on. Literally looking up any book about "basic economics" will have the first result be a book by Chicago School snake oil salesman Thomas Sowell, who has quite the following in the Right, which is just several layers of pure ideology repackaged as "common sense".
This is an image problem that the Left need to tackle one way or another on a regular basis, whether it be in debates with such "Economists" or long typed-out critiques. And as great as the classics are, what Marx and Lenin were talking about in their times (19th/20th Century Prussia and Russia) isn't as familiar to the average Westerner today as someone actively tackling a more close-to-home environment; which is a common talking point ("bruh you can't compare those places at those times to America!")
So, in essence, I'm looking for sources which identify commonly regurgitated terms/concepts, provides definitions and contexts and, as a bonus, takes them down from a Left standpoint. Something that we can learn from and direct others to as well. I've been meaning to read the works of Graeber and Fisher but I feel like they talk either in something more abstract/specific than I'm looking for.
