In response to Bloom and Webinger (2011), this article examines the basic idea that the Bloom and Webinger article promotes: the integration of global financial crisis (GFC) topics within accounting courses, the way in which this idea can be implemented, and the way a class can be stimulated in order to encourage higher participation in both the course and then in real life. Therefore, Bloom and Webinger's article can be analysed from two perspectives: firstly, from the basic idea that accounting should be integrated with other business disciplines; and secondly, by looking at the means of implementation. The commentary also offers ways that Bloom and Webinger's thoughts could be further enhanced. [This article responds to Robert Bloom and Mariah Webinger's "Contextualizing the Intermediate Financial Accounting Courses in the Global Financial Crisis" v20 n5 p469-494 2011 (EJ1109610).]
