This book is about accounting in an alternative libertarian
socialist economic system. It explores what information and
transactions we need to enable democratic and effective financial
decisions by those affected by the decisions. Based on the economic
model, participatory economics, the author proposes a set of
accounting principles for an economy comprised of common ownership
of productive resources, worker and consumer councils, and
democratic planning, promoting the model's core values. The author
tackles questions such as how accounting could be organised in an
economy with no private equity owners or private lenders and
creditors that is not based on greed and competition but instead on
cooperation and solidarity. A large part of the book is focused on
issues regarding investments; thus, he asks how and on what basis
decisions are made about the allocation of an economy's production
between consumption today and investments that enable more
consumption in the future, and how investments are accounted for.
He also considers how investments in capital assets and production
facilities would be decided, financed, and valued if they are not
owned by private capital owners and if allocation does not take
place through markets but through a form of democratic planning. In
answering these questions and more, the author demonstrates that
alternative economic systems are indeed possible, and not merely
lofty utopias that cannot be put into practice, and inspires
further discussion about economic vision. By applying accounting to
a new economic setting and offering both technical information and
the author's bold vision, this book is a comprehensive and valuable
supplementary text for courses touching on critical accounting
theory. It will also appeal to readers interested in alternative
kinds of economies.
