If you want to understand how the world actually works, there is no substitute for this. Theory and models are great and important in their own right. But they are a complement, not a substitute, for this difficult, time-consuming, and essential work.
Today's Nobel for Claudia Goldin is inspiring in so many ways.
One of them is recognizing important *descriptive* work built painstakingly over decades. This is rare.
Two big examples are Fogel (C.Goldin's advisor) and Kuznets (Fogel's advisor). Few other examples (Stone, Deaton, Ostrom?).
