Planet Money Podcast, Week 3
Usually, the first class that an MBA student takes is accounting. That involves, yes, equations and counting widgets…but it’s more than that.

Accounting gives you a sixth sense–one that can help you determine whether your business will survive or fail.
In this pod-class, you’ll learn the basics of accounting, and uncover its origins. We’ll introduce you to the man who helped it spread around the world. He was a monk, a magician, and possibly the boyfriend of Leonardo da Vinci.
Is accounting… sexy?
Yes. Yes it is. Take a listen!
