Abstract
Description
The Department of Economics (which merged with Finance about a decade ago) marks its centenary this December or in 2021, depending on one’s interpretation of the founding date. Alfred Guender and Frank Tay recently discussed the establishment of Economics as a separate academic unit. Frank Tay is the most authoritative person to consult about the department. He joined it as a young lecturer before the Beatles became famous. That was a while ago. And after he retired, Frank wrote a History of Economics as a Field of Study at the University of Canterbury that goes back to 1879.
