Yes, I agree a philosophy scholar would do that but what about economists? And is it leisure for economists to read even a few of the classics or is it work related? It could be both I suppose or maybe anything's leisure that doesn't move the ball forward on the current project they're working on. Fair enough if that's the case. BTW, is a quant a practitioner of applied economics? I do know the trading related work they do at least the popular perception of of the work they do.
