Jack Master of all Trades

My macro professor recalls the words of George Shackle from Uncertainty in Economics in his syllabus:

To be a complete economist, a man need only be a mathematician, a philosopher, a psychologist, an anthropologist, a historian, a geographer, and a student of politics; a master of prose exposition; and a man of the world with experience of practical business and finance, an understanding of the problems of administration, and a good knowledge of four or five languages. All this is, of course, in addition to familiarity with the economic literature itself.

Expect to see many more posts from my classes/readings over the course of the next few months.
