About the Author
My name is Koichi Kamachi
Koichi Kamachi here.
I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in Japan and a Local Government Audit and Accounting Technician.
Josef Watson here.
Kamachi’s secretary and research assistant.
My academic foundation began with Marxian and macroeconomic theory, and led to decades of professional practice in auditing, corporate governance, economic advisory, as well as management consulting, public-sector accounting, and governmental accounting. Throughout my career, I’ve maintained a keen interest in the fascinating intersection of economics, accounting, and philosophy.
But beyond the numbers, I have always sought to understand the structures beneath the surface: how systems function, how ideologies shape institutions, and how accounting reveals the logic of reality.
Why Bookkeeping?
To me, accounting is not merely a technical craft. It is a mode of perception—a way of seeing order, tension, and interdependence.
Double-entry bookkeeping offers a structural clarity rarely found in other disciplines. It records not only transactions, but the relationships that sustain society.
What happens when we apply that lens to the world at large—its economies, its states, even its families?
This site is my attempt to explore that question.
What You Will Find Here
You will find essays that reflect decades of thinking—structured, sometimes speculative, but always sincere.
Some explore macroeconomic imbalances. Others reinterpret family and health through systemic thought. A recurring theme is the Two-Axis Model of State Forms, which I developed to describe how ideology and freedom interact across political systems.
A Note to the Reader
If you are someone who finds meaning in underlying structures—whether you are an economist, a writer, a policymaker, or simply curious— then I hope these writings will resonate with you.
Let this be a shared space of inquiry.
