Today I attempt to trace the history of accounting from renaissance Venice through the robber barons into the modern era. Along the way, I opine on the nature of moneylending, Shylock, and drill down six key accounting concepts necessary to understanding the next two episodes. While I tried to keep this episode from being boring, it's very much a setup episode.
