Abstract
In this article I argue that management accounting practices cause today’s business managers to commit what Alfred North Whitehead referred to as the "fallacy of misplaced concreteness." These practices cause managers to drive operations with quantitative accounting abstractions and divert their attention from the concrete reality of what it means to run a business well so that it contributes to building a sustainable economy and a flourishing society.
