Calculative schemes (e.g. gross national product, rate of unemployment, return on investment) are tools for the control of
contemporary capitalist societies as well as means for its self-perception. Politically the power of numbers draws on its
institutionally secured ability to define, respectively reconstruct, relevant ends and performance-parameters for organizations
as well as individuals or entire systems of action. Moreover, the calculative practices of accounting represent socially and
individually hardly contestable patterns, shaping or even constituting the construction of our selfs as well as constellations
of social problems, being part of the overall constructive process of the world and attaching meaning to it. This article
outlines relevant aspects of accounting-research in the Anglo-Saxon context on the level of organization, profession and the
individual, and points to some theoretical shortcomings particularly of the so-called post-modern strand in this field. However,
an analysis of the calculative practices of accounting will contribute to a better understanding of contemporary capitalism. 相似文献
