Brett Johnson recently spoke with Minnesota native and Northwestern University psychology professor David Rapp. They discussed a topic David has been studying for the past few years, the psychology of why people believe disinformation. It’s an especially important topic in the wake of the January 6 Capitol attack.

When we asked international technology entrepreneur Paul Tenney about the pre-requisites to entrepreneurial business success, he said, “Learn accounting”. Accounting — or economic calculation — is one of the four pillars of entrepreneurship. And when it's viewed through Austrian eyes, it becomes a more powerful business tool than, perhaps, you might have realized. Whether we are talking about retrospective accounting (P&L accounting and financial reporting) or commercial pre-calculation to plan future actions (management accounting or cost accounting), how you use the tool makes a difference to the results you get. Our guest in E4E episode 51, Dr. David Rapp, is an international leader in the field of Accounting and Management Control, a subject he teaches at one of Europe's top business schools. Key Takeaways and Actionable Insights Accounting is a means to help you achieve your desired ends — apply judgment when using the tool. Austrian economics teaches us to subjectively choose goals and then select the best means to achieve those goals. Accounting is just another tool to help the entrepreneur. There are plenty of explicit and implicit options in how to use it. David calls this attitude “purpose orientation” — one of the most important aspects in the field of accounting. Any computation should be shaped by its underlying purpose. Financial reporting is subject to local rules — but there are always options in applying them. If the purpose is to pay as little tax as possible, for example, a firm may apply depreciation or amortization rules in such a way as to reduce taxable profits. If the purpose is to present the firm in the best possible light to secure external funding, the same rules might be applied in a different way to display a different calculation of profit. There are options available for valuation of assets and of inventory that can materially affect the balance sheet. Entrepreneurs should be rigorous in ensuring that their own managerial accounting does not mislead them. Some modern finance theories and models are unrealistic — such as the standardized Capital Asset Pricing Model and the Weighted Average Cost of Capital approach. The entrepreneur's task is to apply real world judgement in deciding on future actions. Austrian Economics guides us towards realism not models, and the insights from Austrian Economics are the best ones to integrate into managerial accounting. Entrepreneurs should bear in mind core Austrian Economics principles to guide their options in accounting. Dr. Rapp mentioned these principles: Subjective valueThe importance of opportunity costsDistinguishing between value and priceUnderstanding that prices determine costs rather than vice versa,Differentiating between uncertainty and risk Does accounting send reliable signals of business health to the entrepreneur? Not necessarily. Entrepreneurs should be on their guard. Dr. Rapp advises us that general guidance to the firm's owners and management is not possible via accounting. Accounting is not neutral and not a perfect tool for measurement or reporting. Again, the choice of reports comes down to the goal the entrepreneur is pursuing. If the goal is a sale to an external buyer, then an accounting focus on EBIT might be the best channel for the most relevant business health monitoring. If the goal is external financing from a bank, a more appropriate signal might be found in a solvency measure such as debt-to-equity ratio. Can accounting accommodate the Austrian Economics mandate for dynamic flexibility — continuous adjustment to changing customer preferences in the marketplace? Yes, says Dr Rapp: by emphasizing the P&L to reflect the profit-and-loss outcomes of entrepreneurial actions and to reflect how well changing allocation of resources serves customers. Sub-dividing accounts into shorter time periods and different lines of business can more accurately reflect the dynamism of a business. And extensive use of notes to accounts in reports can provide a qualitative flexibility in reporting. Accounting plays a primary and noble role in the advance of civilization. Our complex market economy could not have evolved without accounting. It's an important part of the system that allocated capital to its highest and most profitable use. Accounting is not boring, dry or dispensable. Rather, it's a mainstay of human progress. Additional Resource "Accounting From An Austrian (Misesian) Perspective" (PDF): Mises.org/E4E_51_PDF

Today we are joined by David Rapp, author of the book Tinker to Evers to Chance: The Chicago Cubs and the Dawn of Modern America (University of Chicago Press, 2018). Rapp spent 30 years as a journalist in the Washington. D.C., area and was the former editor of Congressional Quarterly, where he oversaw that publications transition from print to digital publishing. Rapp blows the dust off the legends of the Chicago Cubs’ iconic double play combination of the early 20th century: shortstop Joe Tinker, second baseman Johnny “The Crab” Evers, and first baseman Frank “The Peerless Leader” Chance. They formed the foundation of a National League juggernaut that won four pennants, two World Series and a major-league record for victories in a season. Rapp humanizes all three men, showing how they survived during a rough-and-tumble era of baseball that was undergoing a transition—just like the United States was at the turn of the century. Each man brought a distinctive local culture with him to Chicago: Tinker was an urbanite from Kansas City; Evers hailed from the heavily Irish-American city of Troy, New York; and Chance traveled east from the laid-back Central Valley of California. All three men were intense—Tinker and Evers had several fights and never spoke to one another off the field—but they proved that teammates with a common goal do not have to like one another. Bob D’Angelo is working on his master’s degree in history at Southern New Hampshire University. He earned his bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Florida and spent more than three decades as a sportswriter and sports copy editor, including 28 years on the sports copy desk at The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune. He can be reached at bdangelo57@gmail.com. For more information, visit Bob DAngelo’s Books and Blogs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

¿Pero por qué razón el cerebro, con muchísima frecuencia, le abre la puerta a las declaraciones falsas e información no verdadera con tanta facilidad, una actitud que lleva a tomar posturas distorsionadas a la hora de tomar decisiones? En un estudio reciente, el psicólogo David Rapp, explica que las personas incorporamos de forma rápida las falsedades en la memoria, porque es mucho más fácil hacerlo que ponernos en el trabajo de evaluar de forma crítica y analizar lo visto o escuchado. Luego, el cerebro trae la información incorrecta primero, pues es la que menos trabajo ha supuesto a la hora de procesarla. “Si está disponible, las personas tienden a pensar que se pueden fiar pero, no porque se recuerde que alguien “importante” dijo algo, vuelve a lo dicho verdadero”, dice Rapp.
