As Coleman already indicated, a similar message can be found in the last part of the
"Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren":
 
"But chiefly, do not let us overestimate the importance of the economic problem, or
sacrifice to its supposed necessities other matters of greater and more permanent
significance.
 
It should be a matter for specialists - like dentistry. If economists could manage to get
themselves thought of as humble, competent people, on a level with dentists, that would be
splendid!"
