Half a pound of tuppeny rice

Kerry Jacobs

Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, 2005, vol. 18, issue 6, 884-884

Abstract: Purpose - Seeks to reflect on the way that truths about commerce and labour have been captured in seemingly “innocent” rhymes. Design/methodology/approach - Fictional prose. Findings - The piece contemplates the trap into which a tradesman might fall when at the mercy of fluctuating demand and tempted to give up his tools. Alternative means of income are weighed up and a moral about managing money is suggested. Research limitations/implications - Encourages further consideration of the way that common rhymes represent the economic and social truth of their times. Originality/value - A creative representation of the origins of popular verses that deal with working lives of the past.
