    Weirdly enough, accounting profs in my experience aren't nearly as bad. Most of mine like to positively reference Marxist concepts without actually mentioning his name. They were way too consistent and coherent at it for it to have been coincidence, they definitely read Marxist work. I think it's because accountants have to work in the real work, and modern Western economists don't.

      In my experience most well trained accountants who are not Mormons are usually at least Marxist in terms of their economic theory (because they see how much money really is sliding around in the system and how little of it goes towards labor, which is the thing actually generating the product). They generally aren't Marxist in terms of their political theory, but I've heard remarks of 'giving up every client when the revolution comes', or 'nbd communism will still need accountants'.
