Double Entry by Jane Gleeson-White
How the invention of double-entry bookkeeping changed the world
A lively history of double-entry bookkeeping that follows its rise from Renaissance Italy’s merchant ledgers and the work of Luca Pacioli to its central role in modern capitalism, illuminating how this accounting method enabled global trade, corporate growth, and financial innovation. It also probes the ethical and environmental implications of what accounting counts—and omits—arguing that expanding our measures of value is essential for a sustainable economy.
