Extreme specialists in any field like physics, acting, sports, or engineering tend to be wildly ignorant of economics.
In the past Universities were just that, places where one could obtain a Universal education consisting of the Trivium and Quadrivium.
Today they are specialist trade schools, turning out mind-crippled worker-bots. Diplomas guarantee the graduate possesses the mental and social discipline to obey corporate orders, and not think too much about larger issues.
