    I discussed this topic a few years ago; see here: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2005/09/14/why_are_there_s/ and here: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2009/02/25/6_percent_not_b/
    The short answer is that economists are already way overrepresented in government, at least in the United States.
