Abstract: Abstract ‘Dr. Lewis who was recently appointed to the Readership in Colonial Economics is resigning to take up a Chair in Economics at the University of Manchester.’ This brief statement in the Minutes of the London School of Economics Professorial Council in December 1947 signalled the end of Lewis’s critical decade and a half at the LSE, the phase of his life he described so graphically in his Laureate autobiographical account, as offering him such ‘marvellous intellectual feasts’.
