Abstract

With tax season 2000 at an end, a new resource, the Tax History Foundation and Museum, reminds us that the United States has decades of accounting, commercial, and economic development history from which we can learn. The mission of the newly formed Tax History Foundation and Museum, says Executive Director H. Elliott Lipschultz, is "to encourage the study of accounting, commercial, and economic history by examining technological change and commercial development." According to Lipschultz, the Foundation may also examine the history of how CPAs help clients increase their networths over time, how entrepreneurs and business professionals use technology to make a profit, and how the government's role as a taxing entity has influenced these networths and profits over the years.
