Abstract: A left ideal of any $C^*$-algebra is an example of an operator algebra with a right contractive approximate identity (r.c.a.i.). Conversely, we show here that operator algebras with a r.c.a.i. should be studied in terms of a certain left ideal of a $C^*$-algebra. We study operator algebras and their multiplier algebras from the perspective of ``Hamana theory'' and using the multiplier algebras introduced by the first author.
