Baxter (19072006) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) were instrumental in the development of British accounting thought in the mid-1900s. These three influential scholars influenced a generation of students who came to populate the British accounting profession and academia to the point where, in the early 1970s, half of all full-time accounting professors in the United Kingdom were LSE alumni. Edey's role in these developments, however, remains relatively underappreciated.This edited volume contains 13 of Edey's unpublished manuscripts written during the heyday of the LSE Triumvirate. These manuscripts address issues of accounting education, measurements, and theory, and they are accompanied by editorial comments that put the material in its historical context. The volume also contains an aide-me?moire of Edey's professional activities and a complete bibliography of his published work. The material offers new insight into Edey's contribution to the British accounting profession, and developments at the LSE, during a critical period of academic expansion and struggle to address the problem of accounting for rising inflation. The material is of value to anyone interested in the development of accounting thought. 410 0$aStudies in the development of accounting thought ;$v23.$x1479-3504 606 $aAccountants$zEngland$vBiography 606 $aBusiness & Economics$xAccounting$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aAccounting$2bicssc 607 $aEngland$2fast 608 $aBiographies.$2fast 615 0$aAccountants 615 7$aBusiness & Economics$xAccounting$xGeneral. 615 7$aAccounting. 676 $a657 702 $aPersson$b Martin E. 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793612403321 996 $aHarold Cecil Edey$93843158 997 $aUNINA
