But governments don't provide ¿ or use ¿ basic financial information that every business is required to maintain. They ignore the value of public assets and most liabilities. This leads to inefficiency and bad decision-making and piles up problems for the future.
Governments need to create balance sheets that properly reflect assets and liabilities, and to understand their future obligations and revenue prospects. Net Worth ¿ both today and for the future ¿ should be the measure of financial strength and success.
Only if this information is put at the centre of government financial decision-making can the present challenges to public finances around the world be addressed effectively, and in a way that is fair to future generations.
The good news is that there are ways to deal with these problems and make government finances more resilient and fairer to future generations.
The facts, and the solutions, are non-partisan, and so is this book. Responsible leaders of any political persuasion need to understand the issues and the tools that can enable them to deliver policy within these constraints.

Jacob Soll
Jacob Soll is a University Professor and Professor of Philosophy, History, and Accounting at the University of Southern California and has taught at Princeton, Rutgers, and Cambridge Universities. The winner of many prestigious prizes, including a MacArthur "Genius" Grant, Soll's work examines the mechanics of politics, statecraft, and economics by dissecting how modern states and political systems succeed and fail. He is the author of several books, including his best-selling The Reckoning: Financial Accountability and the Rise and Fall of Nations (2014), which presents a sweeping history of accounting and politics, drawing on a wealth of examples from over a millennium of human history to reveal how accounting can used to both build kingdoms, empires and entire civilisations, but also to undermine them. It explains the origins of our financial crisis as deeply rooted in a long disconnect between human beings and their attempts to manage financial numbers.PART 1. PURPOSE AND PROLOGUE.- Chapter 1.
