Description
The Triumph of the Accountants and how They Broke Capitalism A devastating expose of the global accountancy industry, revealing how the world's 'Big Four' firms have become a gilded elite, with an average partner's salary rivalling that of a Premier League footballer. Investigative journalist Richard Brooks charts the profession's rise to global influence and offers a gripping expose of the industry's excesses. Informed by numerous insider interviews, Brooks sheds light on the industry's role in the 2008 financial crash and the creation of a global tax avoidance industry. This is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in how our economy really works. By examining the inner workings of the accountancy industry, Brooks provides a thought-provoking analysis of the consequences of their excesses and the impact on society as a whole.
