Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, 2005, vol. 18, issue 1, 147-149

Abstract: Purpose - The paper outlines my reactions on reading Tony Tinker's paper: “The withering of criticism”. Design/methodology/approach - It describes how I read the paper with increasing feelings of frustration. Findings - In the end I was quite negative about the prospects for critical accounting research and feel that this is unfortunately a lost opportunity. Originality/value - I point out that Tinker's paper contains a number of new avenues to be explored and new insights which can be gained, but these are in danger of being lost amid continuing internecine strife.
