So you're punishing your students because most economic text books are
biased? If I were your student, I'd be pissed at you.

Well as they say: "No pain, no gain." It drives the point home more
forcefully than just saying it. Then it opens up a discussion of what
those concepts really mean and why, if they are indeed highly related to
economics, they are not in the "mainstream" texts. Plus, with a little
initiative, finding some "heterodox" books in out-of-the-way places,
they can find those concepts mentioned.
