Why is Marx irrelevant in economics but important in other fields?

Many students in the humanities engage with Marx a great deal but it doesn't feel like this is the case for economists. Why is this?

Marx' economics doesn't really hold up, and hasn't had a lasting influence on the field.  He's influential outside of economics for non-economics ideas, such as "all history is the history of the class struggle", and the idea of "base versus superstructure".
