Abstract (summary)
The objective in this paper is to list the salient ideas in the economics of populism to provide a lesson plan at the introductory and elective levels in economics. This is achieved through a literature review and book reviews in the economics of populism, the economics of hate, the political economy of both populism and hate, and popular books by noted academics, Jason Stanley and Yuval Noah Harari. A list of salient ideas is highlighted and complemented with video clips including ‘The Mob Song’ from Disney. Activities based on parsing song lyrics, contrasting viewpoints, and sample questions are outlined for the purpose of teaching the economics of populism.
