> Nobody reads academic leftists because they are eye-wateringly dull and they redefine many words. FWIW Das Kapital is one of the most cited books in all of economics (and probably all of academia), so I can only assume it is also one of the most read of all academic works. There are also leftist authors such as Howard Zinn with People’s History of the United States and Stephen Jay Gould with Mismeasure of Man. Both best-sellers and the former probably the best selling history book of all time. Even in field of feminism bell hooks has a couple of best sellers that are widely read by the general public. Seems to me that left-wing academics appeal plenty to the general public and their works get read and understood in record numbers.
