Agreed... but not only the ancient, also great economists (like following two Nobel laureates) of modern days are also mathematicians. Infact, its very hard to be a good economist these days without having strong skills in maths.
John Nash http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Forbes_Nash,_Jr.
Milton Friedman http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Friedman Please see his early life.
By the way, have you seen the movie "A Beautiful Mind Game Theory" about John Nash, 1994 Nobel prize winner for his work for game theory, and a patient of paranoid schizophrenia. I think its worth to watch.
