Radical Accountant

Conflict scenario:
Developed nations exploit less developed nations supported by local elites in the less developed nations exploit the bulk of the population. This would take us into globalisation and would raise issues of who benefits from globalisation. However none of these issues are ever going to be raised in an ACCA exam paper. There are limited job openings for Marxist management consultants and radical accountants. Just be thankful you are not poor, black, female and living in a less developed country since you would be subject to four interlocking systems of oppression. Rather, you as accountants or managers are, according to the radical view, an important part of the system of oppression and exploitation.
