Georges Batailles' The Accursed Share is 'heterodox' in the same way child sacrifice is. It's also incredialy literary, operating in the same intellectual space as Tzara and Breton.

Well, "economics". The worthless members of the priesthood of orthodoxy wouldn't recognize The Accursed Share as anything resembling mainstream economics, and that includes the various right-libertarian diseases. It is economics' answer to Lovecraft's non-Euclidean architecture.

Yes, and particularly his view that deliberately destructive rituals are necessary in all societies to dispose of that surplus, whether it be sacrifice, war, etc. It's the perfect antidote to neoliberal 'rationalism'.
