Take note of the dates associated with the economist you are studying.
History focused databases like ABC-CLIO will be useful for historical figures while the more contemporary ones might be best researched in aggregate databases that contain content from current news, magazine and academic journal sources.
To best capture their views and personality look for content in the person's own words - written texts and articles, interviews, speeches, etc.
