The master-economist must possess a rare combination of gifts…He
must be mathematician, historian, statesman, philosopher—in
some degree. He must understand symbols and speak in words. He
must contemplate the particular in terms of the general, and touch
abstract and concrete in the same flight of thought. He must study
the present in the light of the past for the purposes of the future.
No part of man’s nature or his institutions must lie entirely
outside his regard.
--John Maynard Keynes (Essays in Biography)
