oh hell. the context is a quote explaining that an economist is in principle interested in the relationship between the price of tomatoes and the price of ketchup, but a financial economist is the guy who tells you that a gallon of ketchup sells for the same price as eight pints and thinks he's told you something useful. But I can't remember who actually said it. Maybe Samuelson?
