The Italian and Iberian Influence in Accounting History provides
compelling evidence of how accounting, when conceived of as a
technology rather than simply as a tool to increase efficiency, can
work as a means to sustain power relations in different sites, such
as the Church, the State or the factory. This book, drawing upon
the growing body of work which focuses on Italy and the Iberian
Peninsula, demonstrates how accounting practices were effective in
the subjugation of single individuals or entire populations,
whether Roman Catholic priests, State functionaries, inhabitants of
conquered lands or workers. The effectiveness of accounting as a
tool of power is linked to its neutral and technical appearance,
which makes it difficult for those oppressed and controlled by its
practices to oppose it. Its adaptability to different
organizational contexts, as documented in The Italian and Iberian
Influence in Accounting History, makes it a valuable tool for
sustaining existing power relations and reproducing inequalities
and exploitation. The Italian and Iberian Influence in Accounting
History is vital reading for academics and researchers in the
fields of accounting, accounting history, political management and
sociology and European history.
