DESCRIPTION:Giving the order to send out European ships to transport Afric
 ans to the Americas was a rather discreet operation that was strongly conn
 ected to the perception of the slave trade by its traders via account book
 s and sheets. The effects of bookkeeping on entrepreneurial activities has
  lately been discussed more intensely: Due to the abstraction and organiza
 tional performance of bookkeeping\, heterogeneous objects\nand services we
 re homogenized and transactions got evaluated in monetary terms. Accountin
 g thus contributed to a perception of the economy as a set of components t
 hat interacted with each other only via money flows. The resulting detachm
 ent of the slave traders from the practical realities of the slave trade w
 as – as shall be argued here – a pillar of the asymmetrical power rela
 tion in the transatlantic slave trade. To exemplify this\, accounting file
 s of the Belgian slave trade of the 1780s will be presented in detail alon
 gside public writings of the same slave traders.
