From a hedgehog to a fox.
"There is a very good piece of advice that Vernon Smith, Nobel prize-winner, gives. Learn one thing very deeply, dig very deeply. Become the world's expert on some economic phenomenon and explain it. That's the deep one. So you know what depth means. You know what really complete thorough science looks like. But then read widely. And this is what a lot of young economists don't do. You go into the house of an economist, and there are no books, and that's a bad sign in a scientist. A scientist should have curiosity much wider than her narrow science. Keynes famously said that an economist that knows only economics is going to be a bad economist. And that is true."
