... the master-economist must possess a rare combination of gifts. He/she must reach a high standard in several different directions and must combine talents not often found together. He/she must be mathematician, historian, statesman, philosopher – in some degree. He/she must understand symbols and speak in words. He/she must contemplate the particular in terms of the general, and touch abstract and concrete in the same flight of thought. He/she 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/her regard. He/she must be purposeful and disinterested in a simultaneous mood; as aloof and incorruptible as an artist, yet sometimes as near the earth as a politician. ... conspicuously historian and mathematician, a dealer in the particular and the general, the temporal and the eternal, at the same time. - John M. Keynes Essays In Biography (1933), p. 170 (slightly modified!)
