| Summary: | "Accounting and Emancipation adopts an interdisciplinary and supradisciplinary perspective that draws upon debates from the social sciences and humanities, embraces a radical questioning of existing traditions, conventions and practices and engages with multiple accountings and agencies in differing modern contexts in an exploration of how emancipation can be positively aligned with accounting. Major focuses of the book include the accounting of Jeremy Bentham, accounting and socialist agitation in the late nineteenth century, the recent 'social accounting' phenomenon and a reflection upon accounting and praxis." "Essential reading for academics and advanced students in accounting research, this book will also be invaluable for policy-makers and practitioners with an interest in accounting."--BOOK JACKET. |
