All right, let's start with Keynes.
So in the section in Keynes You quote him I think talking about Robert Marshall Alfred Marshall?
Oh, sorry, Alfred Marshall.
He says, the master economist must possess a rare combination of gifts.
He must be a mathematician, historian, statesman, philosopher.
No part of man's nature or his institutions must lie entirely outside his regard.
And you say, well, Keynes is obviously talking about himself.
Because he was all those things, and he was arguably the only person.
who was all those things at the time.
He must have known that.
Well, you know what I'm going to ask now.
