The social conscience - Michel Glautier

Building on the premise called the sociology of accounting, this book explores the sociology in the relationship between the market (global) economy and the concept of a caring (or collectivist) society. The author places the idea of accounting as central to the social conscience in a functioning sense, and revisits topics likeglobalization, the impact on society of rapid scientific and technological changes, shifting moral and family values, and the role of education.Ending with a message of hope, solutions are developed that involve recognizing the authority of social conscience and giving educationthekey role in the proposed transformative social action.
