This is a great history of how we got where we are today in accounting, and what's wrong with today's accounting rules. Their point of view is still relevant 20 years later - not much has changed. Today's accounting is geared for financial markets and tax compliance and does little to help an owner run the business. Some great case studies from the 1800's and early 1900's.
