So uhh you got Marx on the team, solid choice.

And Richard Wolff, not my personal favorite but definitely a Marxian economist, he fits in.

And then you add in... Robert Reich? The milquetoast neoliberal? The guy from the Clinton administration who implemented NAFTA?

Does the team want to save capitalism, or dismantle it? I'm confused.

Got any good recommendations or videos for actual economists who are fairly far left? I'm from the business world where everyone is convinced the invisible hand will guide everyone to the promised land but they conveniently ignore what Smith also said is the idea that such a concept, if it can work at all, only will if there's not much in terms of barriers to entry, no monopolies or corruption pulling strings, etc. Y'know, American capitalism at its core. Thanks in advance.

Unlearning Economics is probably one of the best left-wing economist who is also a YouTuber. His video on worker democracy is a great place to start. He had a pretty good discussion on the Limits of YIMBYism on his live channel.
