Torsten Schmidt got the page reference right - it is from Hayek's "The 
Dilemma of Specialization," in his 1967 _Studies in Philosophy, Politics 
and Economics_, pp. 122-32, and the quote appears on p. 123. The exact 
quote there is: 
 
"The physicist who is only a physicist can still be a first-class physicist 
and a most valuable member of society. But nobody can be a great economist 
who is only an economist -- and I am even tempted to add that the economist 
who is only an economist is likely to become a nuisance if not a positive 
danger."
