These two volumes represent a great contribution for a better understanding of the development of double-entry bookkeeping as a traditional accounting method used in East Asia. The chapters that follow compare the perspectives of scholars from South Korea, China, Japan, and Europe who argue that the economic history of East Asia can contribute to unveiling an aspect of modernity focusing on their use of double-entry bookkeeping, so far neglected by mainstream scholars.



As Kaesŏng Double Entry Bookkeeping(KDEB) in a Global Perspective shows similarities between these two parts of the world were very high in the pursuit of rational profits as well as living standards. Perhaps most surprisingly, this volume demonstrates that the Kaesŏng Korea was the highest accounting practice for profit seeking among the three East Asian states.
