Abstract For Nohora Garcia’s monograph, Understanding Mattessich and Ijiri: A Study of Accounting Thought , as well as the practice of Accounting, Economics, and Law: A Convivium ( CONVIVIUM ) to organize a book-critics’ panels at the SASE annual meetings, are welcome developments for accounting scholarship. Fortunately, interest in exploring the history of accounting remains strong in many parts of the world. Garcia’s analysis of Mattessich and Ijiri’s thought is a unique and deep intellectual contribution to accounting. I hope that it will help bring more scholarly attention to the history of accounting thought.
