Accounting and Distributive Justice challenges the basic
assumptions on which the current practice of financial reporting is
based. It argues that the objective of financial reporting should
be to contribute to the achievement of distributive justice and not
the optimal allocation of resources as in the traditional
capitalist paradigm. It explains in non-technical terms the
principle philosophical theories of justice and argues that a firm
has a moral responsibility to seek distributive justice in its
dealings with its shareholders, employees, suppliers, customers,
and other people with whom it has dealings, who are considered to
be the firm's stakeholders. The book introduces concepts of
distributive justice to accountants and provokes them into
reflecting on how the discipline of accounting can best serve the
cause of justice. Accounting and Distributive Justice provides both
a philosophical foundation and a practical game plan for the future
of a more sustainable accounting practice.
