Eighteenth century Britain had grown to be a great imperial power, with conquests throughout the world. At about this same time, the first Industrial Revolution (circa 1760 – 1840) was taking off in Britain. Just as The Reckoning made the case that double-entry accounting was instrumental in the Italian Renaissance, the book asserts that “sophisticated forms of double-entry accounting were the foundation of the first Industrial Revolution” (p. 122). Do you agree? If so, in what way did double-entry accounting provide the tools needed for the Industrial Revolution to occur? If you do not agree, discuss how the Industrial Revolution could have occurred without the record keeping provided by accounting.

If you do not agree, discuss how the Industrial Revolution could have occurred without the record keeping provided by accounting.

One of the key themes of The Reckoning is the following: “If there is any historical lesson to be learned here, it is that those societies that managed to harness accounting as part of their general cultures flourished. Republican Italian city-states like Genoa and Florence, Golden Age Holland, and eighteenth and nineteenth-century Britain and America all integrated accounting into their educational curriculum, religious and moral thought, art, philosophy, and political theory.”

What do you think? Is it necessary to somehow broaden the reach of accounting so that all have a basic understanding and it is part of most everyone’s daily life? If so, how do we accomplish this? If not, how do we ensure people continue to trust the government, to trust the companies they are invested in and trust the companies they depend on for their jobs and livelihood’s if they do not understand the financial reports they issue?

In the 1790s, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania made the State’s account books open to the public where all citizens could review them and verify them with their own eyes. The State Comptroller stated in 1795 that “citizens were more likely to pay taxes, and even enjoy paying taxes, when they are ‘faithfully accounted for.’” Do you agree with the Pennsylvania State Comptroller? Why or why not?
