Economic Man vs Humanity: a Puppet Rap Battle

Three students challenge outdated economics by debating with their professor about the nature of humankind, with rap and puppetry.

This animated film is a collaboration between economist Kate Raworth, puppet designer Emma Powell and song writer Simon Panrucker.

The critique of rational economic man is based on chapter 3 of Kate Raworth's book Doughnut Economics: seven ways to think like a 21st century economist.

Check out the complete lyrics of the rap, with fully footnoted references to key economics texts, quotes and concepts:
