Gabriel Makhlouf, Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland in this blogpost writes to students applying for Central Bank’s graduate program.
He revisits Keynes famous quote on what is an economist? As per the Governor, an economist is like a weaver:
At some point you’ll probably be asked the question “what is an economist?”. You could reply with Keynes’ famous description of the “master economist [as] mathematician, historian, statesman, philosopher”. I suggest you also think of an economist as a “weaver”, someone who brings together different strands of evidence and analytical frameworks and weaves them into baskets to carry forward public policy and find solutions to today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.
The students should read the entire post. Interesting bit of advice.
