Here's a list (taken from wrightswriting.com) of some good leftist books. Click on the titles for the PDFs. It's a somewhat arbitrary list, but I tried to keep it confined to fairly easy-to-read books, not overly theoretical or abstruse ones that might leave the beginning reader bewildered. I've been unable to find PDFs of certain excellent work...

Here's my whole ass sociological theory textbook lol. There's a pretty long chapter on Marx that I thought could be useful--certainly helped me understand Marx more at the fundamental level. I am definitely very interested in other opinions on it tho. (edited)

Chapter 3 is the chapter on Marx, p. 47-92. idk what y'all know about sociology, but I remember I didn't anticipate there being so much discussion of Marx when I decided to major in it. Sociology as a discipline engages a lot with Marx's ideas, especially conflict theory/class analysis. I don't know how seriously either poli sci or philosophy teach Marx, but sociology defo does. Marx is considered a "founding father" of sociology and is one of the main sociologists studied in the sociological cannon. (edited)

poli sci seems to teach marx offhandedly, as an unpleasant necessity. phil teachs a whole ass class on him, and his ideas are relevant to everything that comes after him, so he's super helpful to know, but he isn't the focus for the most part. i get the impression that, among academic philosophers, if you proudly declared yourself a marxist they'd look at you like you're making a big deal of believing in science. like ok, yeah, there are folks who don't, but they're weird and wrong, and anyway what exactly do you mean by 'science'? there's a lot of kinds of science out there.

i’ve only experienced the philo dept in an intro class but i can confirm poli sci sees marx as a chore

ik i’ve heard one professor solely described marx as a disgruntled atheist who never had a job in a lecture and that was all he mention of him
