Returning to its roots in activism and economic justice, this issue
exposes accounting practice as a contested terrain by examining its
role as a social force encompassing issues of value, governance,
ethics, politics, and class. Arguing that the view of the
discipline as objective and fair is a myth, these papers illuminate
the detrimental social consequences of failing to recognize
accounting??'s role in the social environment. Investigating
accounting's use of ???independence??? as a protective shield in
obscuring winners and losers regarding financial activity, the
papers illustrate accounting??'s contribution to the failures of
free markets worldwide: systemic global poverty, questionable
privatization of public enterprises and public goods, and greater
divides between so-called first and third world nations. Revealing
the integrated nature of regulation, accounting, and ethics, the
papers in this volume question the logic of merely fine tuning
current systems proposing instead visionary and innovative change
by probing deeply into our beliefs, social practices, and
consciousness.
