Excerpt from Economics for the Accountant

IN these days any text-book in the social sciences or on the principles of business needs an apology. The student with equipment who has the time and opportunity to attempt to contribute to his science should hesitate before burdening the press with another text. I paused.

Excerpt from Economics for the Accountant

In these days any text-book in the social sciences or on the principles of business needs an apology. The student with equipment who has the time and opportunity to attempt to contribute to his science should hesitate before burdening the press with another text. I paused, therefore, before adding another text on the subject of economies, but after much deliberation decided that there was a definite need for a specialized analysis of economic theory for the accountant.

The economist and the accountant deal with substantially the same facts, even though they have different perspectives and somewhat different purposes. The economist is usually a dispassionate philosopher who looks on man's economic activities for the purpose of studying and explaining them. The accountant is working in the midst of business organization and is gathering and classifying facts for his employer. If he would do his work intelligently, he must have some understanding of the economic system in which his employer is functioning. There are many problems of interest to the economist that have only an indirect relation to the accountant's work. For this reason the ordinary text-books on economic theory include lengthy discussions on many phases of economics in which the accountant is not interested and give insufficient treatment to what he would consider more fundamental problems. It might be supposed that some of the more "practical" economic texts, such as are used in the business schools, might give the accountant what he needs.
