Burgess COMMENTARY
Thank you Grist ... this is one of the better ideas that is circulating, and in my view, it would make a big difference if it is implemented with integrity. t conforms very much with my own thinking about how conventional financial accountancy should be enhanced to handle the Triple Bottom Line (People, Planet, Profit) and All the Capitals (Social, Natural and Economic).
