 University Ideals and the MarketChapter 22 in Selected Essays on Economic Policy, 2001, pp 293-307 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract Friends and Fellow Wyverns, it is one of the greatest pleasures as well as one of the greatest privileges of my life to be asked to give this lecture. We managed to get here a little early, surprise, surprise, for anyone who knows the Harcourt family. So Joan and I took Tim and Jo to see where we were married. The Chapel seems to have become larger (or we have become smaller) since that happened. I was delighted that Joe [Isaac] was to introduce me, for Joe was my first mentor in Queen’s, and was always extraordinarily kind to me. Indeed, I don’t know how he put up with the number of knocks on his door when I kept coming to bug him about various things in economic theory and personal problems when I decided that I was going to leave Miss Hoy’s boys and girls and try to be an academic economist instead of a schoolteacher. I have always admired Joe as an economist, but even more as a man. He was a role model to students at Melbourne and Monash, and later when he was on the Arbitration Commission. It is, therefore, an enormous pleasure and privilege to be introduced by him.
