Details We detail the historical background of the Flow of Funds Analysis tracing back to ancient Rome to clarify the interdependence between law, accounting and economics; and to revive the original idea of Mitchell and Copeland, the fathers of the Flow of Funds Analysis, to understand the interactions between the financial and non-financial economy. Funds, which is the sole currency in the pure credit economy we live in today, exist only in the bank's balance sheets, so accounting is a necessity for the virtual currency. The assets and liabilities in the bankers' accounts mean claims and obligations so that law is another prerequisite for the existence of funds.
