What universities have the most the left-wing economics departments? The University of Chicago is famously right-wing, and Wolff studied at Yale and teaches at the New School? Do those departments lean more to the left? Or are all economics departments neo-lib garbage?

Economics have always been inherently political, whether or not any of them are willing to admit it. Not being a neoliberal is career suicide in economic academia.

how did wolff escape such a fate? it's not like he hid his powerlevel.

The New School is openly leftist. The London School of Economics also has a Marxist tradition that's somewhat alive.
Michael Peterson
Really? I did always think the opposite was true. How come they do still have high prestige in economics?
Nolan Cox
yeah I'd always imagined the LSE as being elite and thus i also imagined it would be pretty reactionary.

My impression is that they simply allow for a wide variety of ideological commitments, much wider than is the case in the United States. You'll find lectures by David Harvey speaking at the LSE on YouTube, which indicates they're at least interested in hearing some of it. I'm sure there are way better economics departments than theirs.
Might have exaggerated in saying their Marxist tradition is alive though.
Joshua Bell
That's a big "yikes!" from me fam. There is zero reason to venerate such momuments of liberal imperialism. Similarly, there is zero reason to venerate any individual produced by this system.
Only the Working Class is the incorruptible inheritor of Freedom.

I'm taking a class on marx and marxism atm at a bourgeoisie imperialist educational institution.
it's cross listed as political science and philosophy, not economics though

Token dissenter.
And its not like he teaches at some kind of high level university. New School is an arts school.
