Some old but interesting articles

I have been working on a bibliography for the Harvard Business Review beginning with 1922. There are many early articles that are relevant today. For example: The following quote is from Donham, W. B. 1927. The social significance of business. Harvard Business Review(July): 406-419.

"Discontent with the existing condition of things is perhaps more widespread than ever before in history. The nation is full of idealists, yet our civilization is essentially materialistic. On all sides, complicated social, political, and international questions press for solution, while the leaders who are competent to solve these problems are strangely missing." p. 406.

See Harvard Business Review for more as I develop this section.

I recently finished a bibliography for Abacus 1965-2009.

Abacus has published articles on every accounting topic you can think of, and many topics related to accounting. If you are not familiar with this journal, I highly recommend it.

Remembering NUMMI

Where were the auditors in the Madoff Ponzi scheme?

According to testimony before the Senate Banking committee Madoff's hedge fund Ponzi scheme was allowed to continue for 30 years because of limited resources, fragmented oversight and lack of coordination between regulators. Okay, so the SEC and the banking folks didn't pay attention, but where were the auditors who were supposed to verify the non existent assets?

If someone has an answer to this question, or can direct us to an answer, please comment!

A Note on Comparative Economic Systems

I added this note to the Fun with politics comments.

Many people seem to be confused about the definition of socialism.

What separates socialism from capitalism is the profit motive.
See MAAW's Comparative Economics graphic to view the concepts.

See MAAW's Economics and Political Issues sections for more information.
