Just for perspective, neither Farrington nor Sacha Meyers are economists. Farrington has a first in Mathematics and Philosophy. Meyers is a geologist, I think.

It may be a function of the kinds of economists they tend to interact with.

Nouriel Roubini and Nassim Taleb, for example, are both financial economists.
