Request For Nominees For Contributors To Accounting Thought, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch

Accounting Historians Notebook

I would like to share with you an idea expressed to me by Professor Paul A.M. Van Philips of the University of Amsterdam. Professor Van Philips said that an outstanding weakness of accounting is that we do not have a book equivalent to Joseph Schurnpeter's History of Economic Analysis. We have no one place to send students and practitioners of accounting for the rich heritage of accounting writers.
