Accounting, Capitalism and the Revealed Religions: A Study of Christianity, Judaism and Islam

Autor Vassili Joannidès de Lautour
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 noi 2016
This book analyses the bearing of global monotheistic faiths towards the philosophy and practice of record keeping and accounting throughout history. The author offers a comprehensive discussion of the literal and figurative processes of taking account and ascribing accountability that link religions such as Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Chapters address theology and accounting in tandem with social behaviours to demonstrate how auditing and calculating customs permeate practising religions. This book first highlights how the four monotheisms have viewed and incorporated accounting historically, and then looks forward to the accounting debates, technologies and traditions in today’s world that derive from these religious customs. Drawing heavily on the writings of Max Weber and Werner Sombart, the author demonstrates that accounting and capitalism have religious roots far beyond the Protestant ethic.

Recenzii

“This is an interesting book that explores a very important topic for contemporary accounting research. It demonstrates that accounting and capitalism have religious roots, and highlights how the four main monotheistic religions viewed and incorporated accounting historically. … The book is also highly recommended for faculty members and other researchers interested in exploring accounting and religion issues. It provides a timely and highly relevant contribution to reflection and debate about religion and its organizational accountabilities.” (Tânia Menezes Montenegro, Accounting in Europe, March, 2017)
