| Abstract: | This paper argues that the positive accounting framework cannot capture the richness and complexity of the social contradictions that result in the interplay of crisis avoidance in the context of a fundamentally disequilibrial capitalist society. Disequilibrium is the norm, and is itself caused by inequalitiesof power, wealth and opportunities. These dynamics result in a continued tendency of various types of crisis in various social institutions which cannot be resolved, only shifted among institutions or from one time period of the same institution to another. |
