Produktbeschreibung
The study concerns the notions of capital and income which informed nineteenth century opinion generally, and financial reporting specifically. Its original contribution is to show that contemporary opinion, both in economic philosophy and in embryonic financial reporting, held that capital and income were separate states rather than expressions of the same identity, wealth. The modern twentieth century understanding of wealth is shown to derive from the writings of the U.S. financial theorist, Irving Fisher. The study draws on Fisher's work to provide a reintepretation of late nineteenth century financial reporting practices hitherto considered inexplicable.
