Description

Explore the origins of modern financial instability with Creating the "Big Mess": A Marxist History of American Accounting Theory, c.1900-1929. Part of the Frontiers of Accounting and Financial History series, this book provides a deep look into why a generally accepted theory of financial accounting does not exist. By applying Marx's theory of capitalism, the text explains the shift from late 19th century British accounting principles to the American model. It examines how the original going-concern concept, which helped hold management accountable to shareholders for capital stewardship, was transformed. This historical analysis helps readers understand the consequences of these theoretical changes on the financial landscape. This work serves as a foundation for understanding the complexities of accounting evolution. It is an essential resource for those interested in the intersection of economic theory, historical development, and the structural roots of financial reporting systems.
