Accounting, Capitalism and the Revealed Religions: A Study of Christianity, Judaism and Islam
Author: Vassili Joannidès de LautourPublisher: Springer International Publishing AGCategory: Religious Issues & Debates, Christian Books, Islamic Story & History Books, Jewish Books, Religious Groups: Social & Cultural Aspects, Economic History, Economic History, Financial Accounting, FinanceBook Format: PaperbackThis 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.
