Özet

Economic events have many social and political causes and consequences. Unfortunately, it becomes meaningless to explain these events using only mathematical methods as time goes by. In addition, the teaching methods of this comprehensive science to young generations have begun to be questioned. While the learning skills of generations change, there is no drastic change in methods in economics education. This study aims to analyze the advantages of using literary works in economics education in the sample of Animal Farm as in using different training methods. Firstly, the study examined the interactions between literature and economics briefly. Then, the plots of Animal Farm were revealed from the allegory of historical events using defamiliarization. Finally, the benefits of using Animal Farm in economics education were discussed. Using literary works like Animal Farm in economics education assists in raising future economists who can prick the bubble in the events, understand the effects, and create unique systems for societies more easily.
