‘We might hope to see the finances of the Union as clear and intelligible as a merchant’s book, so that every member of Congress, and every man of any mind in the Union, should be able to comprehend them, to investigate abuses, and consequently to control them.’
-Thomas Jefferson writing to his Secretary of the Treasury in 1802, cited in Walker 2004:10.
(cited in Carlos Santiso 2005)
