You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Basil Yamey.jpg|thumb|Basil Yamey]]
'''Basil Selig Yamey''' [[Order of the British Empire|CBE]] (4 May 1919 – 9 November 2020) was a South African economist and expert in the [[history of accounting]].<ref>((cite journal | author=Christopher J Napier | title=''Vale'' Basil S. Yamey | journal=Accounting History | year=2021 | volume=26 | issue=2 | pages=332–335 | doi=10.1177/10323732211009907 | s2cid=234771976 | doi-access=free ))</ref>

==Career==
He was born in [[Cape Town]] in [[South Africa]] in May 1919,<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=hshtAAAAMAAJ&q=Basil+S.+Yamey+May+4,+1919 Profile of Basil Yamey]</ref> and educated at the [[University of Cape Town]]. For many years he was a professor at the [[London School of Economics]]. He was a part-time member of the [[Competition Commission|Monopolies and Mergers Commission]] from 1966 to 1978, and author of many books and articles, including one on the economics of underdeveloped countries co-authored with [[Peter Thomas Bauer]].<ref>((cite web|title=World Connect|url=http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:a43826&id=I372|access-date=22 August 2013))</ref>

Yamey's interest in rational economic decision-making led him to study historical [[accounting]] records. Yamey rejected the claim by [[Werner Sombart]] that the [[double-entry bookkeeping system]] was a pre-condition, or at least an important stimulating factor, for the emergence of modern [[capitalism]].  Yamey combined his interest in [[Accounting History]] with his love of art (he was a trustee of the [[National Gallery, London]] from 1974 to 1981 and of the [[Tate Gallery]], London from 1978 to 1981) in his book ''Art & Accounting'', a richly-illustrated survey of paintings portraying commercial scenes and business-people. He died in November 2020 at the age of 101.<ref>[https://iea.org.uk/a-trip-down-memory-lane/ A trip down memory lane]</ref>
