Overview: This paper addresses a theme in an historical setting that financial accounting measurement contributes to: retardation of national economic growth by the failure of financial accounting to provide for the replacement of capital goods in its measurement process; and the business cycle owing to the illusory profits reported in financial statements. The paper explores the issues and concludes that the arguments against accounting are based upon misunderstandings.
