This seems misleading: Pretty sure he's assigned (as he should be) in political history courses, not so much econ.https://twitter.com/marketwatch/status/692716241618915329 …

@normative Underlying study actually explains that: he's there bc he's taught in pol history, sociology, lit. Not bc of econ.
@emptywheel @normative @RosenzweigP Marx v much higher rank than that would account for. Marx is at #3 total in datapic.twitter.com/j5DNCUFlKf
@pwnallthethings @emptywheel @RosenzweigP Well, under the Republic. Which is taught in exactly the same sort of survey courses.
@normative @emptywheel @RosenzweigP Correlation is certainly there, but is weak. Of 3,573 syllabi listing Republic, only 69 also listed Marx
@pwnallthethings @emptywheel @RosenzweigP Same SORT. Rarely literally the same course. "Foundations" vs "modern" political thought, say.
@normative @emptywheel @RosenzweigP Perhaps, but that Marx is top "modern political thought" assigned text in US colleges still interesting
@pwnallthethings @emptywheel @RosenzweigP In terms of influence on 20th C. & single short text, not terribly surprising.
