 The selfie of humanity that gets put at the center of economic thinking is rational economic man. This is the character within the economic models and he shapes us. The more we're told about him, the more we start to mimic him, which is dangerous because he's depicted as a man with no dependence. He's got money in his hand. He interacts with the world to the market. He's got ego in his heart, a calculator in his head. He's got nature at his feet. The more the students learn about this character, the more they value self-interest and competition over collaboration and altruism. So who we tell ourselves, we are shapes who we become. We need a far richer understanding of humanity and our capacity to collaborate because we are of course the most social of all animals.
