@pluralistic I'd also recommend Stephen Alan Marglin, a heterodox Harvard economist who's writen on failures and history of economic ideology. Notably:

• "What Bosses Do" on management vs. labour. Article, 1974.
• The Dismal Science, book, 2008. Originated as an alternative economics course at Harvard.

Also Mason Gaffney, the Corruption of Economics: Neo-Classical Economics as a Strategem against Henry George (1994) which is a deep dive into the history of the economic canon and its development.

I'm also a fan of Steve Keen and John Quiglan.
