Accounting and the Absence of the Business Economics Tradition in United Kingdom

Author

Listed:
  • Napier, C.J.

Abstract

Economics was slow to emerge as a distinct academic and professional discipline in the United Kingdom. In the years around 1900, some British universities began to offer degrees in commerce, including accounting. These degrees were influenced by the contemporary emergence of business economics in Germany.
