This depends a lot on his background I would say. And whether it is
mainstream economics proper.
In any case I think:
Duncan Foley and Thomas Michl, "Growth and Distribution"
is a good place to start.
I've also heard positive reviews of
ten Raa, "The Economics of Input-Output Analysis"
which ought to help if he is aiming at labour-value accounting.
I'm currently reading Peter Flaschel's "Topics in Classical Micro- and
Macroeconomics: Elements of a Critique of Neoricardian Theory" which
contains some very good material on the mathematics of labour-value
accounting.
