The objective of this paper is to focus on the evolution of development economics, both as an academic discipline and as a subject taught at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, at the University of Manchester, from approximately the early‐1950s onwards. It is not a history or survey of development economics per se but concentrates rather on the richness and variety of the contributions made by a number of eminent economists while they were in the Department of Economics (since 1993, the School of Economic Studies), to both the development of theory and to empirical analysis and to policy prescription, and to the teaching of development economics. Only a limited account is given of the work of these economists once they were no longer in Manchester.

This paper describes and explains the takeover of a regional post-secondary institution in British Columbia, Canada by one of the world's 'top forty' universities: the transnational University of British Columbia (UBC). By mapping connections between the University of British Columbia and the provincial and national political and economic elite and bourgeoisie, the authors establish the takeover of UBC Okanagan as a classic example of neoliberalism that firmly places UBC within the corporate power structure of the 'Silicone Vineyard' region of British Columbia.2-4-6-8 UBC is really great!
