Conveniently, accounting was part of the developing culture from the start. Before civilization, big-brained humans still developed language, stone tools, started trade, and made both bread and beer from wild wheat. The beer and bread combo may have been the big push to settled agriculture, villages, and the start of civilization. With fortified villages and towns, accumulating wealth meant inventory accounting, first using tokens (clay balls). Increased technology, population, and power followed, as did the need for better bookkeeping. 410 0$aFinancial accounting and auditing collection.,$x2151-2817 606 $aAccounting$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAccounting$xHistory. 676 $a657.09 700 $aGiroux$b Gary A.$0857173 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466597203321 996 $aAccounting history and the rise of civilization$92024037 997 $aUNINA
