Hey, where's that other Rakesh?

Well, until I got to this paragraph, I didn't understand a word you said.
Where's that other Rakesh who explains this stuff in language even the
great unwashed can understand?  But thanks anyway.  If I only read one of
these books, any preference?  Which one stays away from the technical
language, like no equations allowed?

Question relating to my earlier questions about EU and economics:

Do economics majors at schools like Harvard and Wharton and that famous one
in Chicago, read and make a serious study of Marx.  Is he considered one of
the great figures in economic theory to main stream economists even though
they may disagree with his conclusions?

I am very curious about this.

Thanks again sweetie.
