Changed rules theory and the evolution of accountancy - a comment

Abstract

In a recent article Birkin et al.(1997) proposed that Changed Rules Theory should provide the appropriate inner logic to drive accounting, in lieu of Social Darwinism. In this comment I take issue with the dichotomy between Darwinism and Changed Rules Theory. I show that both of Changed Rules Theory and Darwinism, when correctly presented, lead to the perspectives the authors recommend.
