In this ledger, I record every* financial transaction in my life. I record these transactions to the day they occurred and to the dollar amount exchanged.
I made this ledger public to test the feasibility and effects of a political candidate disclosing their personal expenses on a detailed level.
Will the people admire the transparency?
Will they be amazed, disgusted or—worst of all—bored with what they find?
Will the candidate's openness be used against them by political foes?
Or will it help them gain allies?
I am still awaiting sufficient data for a meaningful answer.
But, in the meantime, I offer to the people my records for their own analysis and judgement:
* Well, technically not every transaction. But most. I think I did pretty good. For more details see Fortune Report 1.
