_Debunking Economics_ by Steve Keen is good a starting point for criticisms of Econ 101. Max Sawicky recommended it to me, and was right to do so. Keen's webiste is here:

90% of the book's target is neoclassical economics, with extensive use of Piero Sraffa. Towards the end, the Sraffian wrecking ball is turned on some of Marx.
