Starting with the first "scientific" economists such as Cantillon
(1755) and Quesnay (1758) and ending with Piketty (2019), this book
explores the treatment of the concept of capital in the history of
accounting and economic thought. The work provides a rare
juxtaposition of the reasoning, discourse and writings of
accountants and economists. With regard to 'capital', this approach
highlights the ongoing struggle between these "uncongenial twins" -
as Kenneth Boulding put it - for primacy in analysing, and
utilising, capitalism. But if they are certainly "uncongenial", the
book also argues that it is wrong to ever classify these two
disciplines as "twins" because they have taken very different paths
ever since scientism came to dominate in economics and ethical and
moral considerations were put to one side. This book will be of
significant interest to readers to history of economic thought,
critical accounting and heterodox economics.
