I argue that David Ruccio and Jack Amariglio's Postmodern Moments in Modern Economics has a particular pedagogical importance for those of us who teach in the humanities, for three different reasons. Ruccio and Amariglio understand our disciplines a lot better than most of us understand the discipline of economics, and can act as very effective translators. Second, their emphasis on everyday economic discourse intersects very usefully with cultural studies work on the everyday. Finally, and most important, they offer a crucial lesson in the contribution of Marxist analysis. In contrast to the tendency in the humanities to consider the recognition of historically specific and socially constructed discourse as a point of arrival in critical discussion, they find it a point of departure. This is where you begin the work of analysis, not where you end. Keywords: PedagogyOrderDisorderEveryday Economics
