MONETARY POLICY AND ECONOMIC IMBALANCES: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION OF CENTRAL BANK RITUALS
运用经济人类学的民族志方法，分析新西兰储备银行行长的仪式性行为，并将其与南太平洋地区的货物崇拜进行比较，探讨其对经济失衡的影响。
Abstract We apply the ethnographic tools of economic anthropology to analyse a particular ritual performed by the high priest of the Arbee sub‐tribe in the South Pacific island group of Aotearoa. (In other island groups, this high priest is sometimes known as the Governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.) The ritual is considered by many within Aotearoa to be the cause of The Imbalance in The Economy . We analyse this claim and show that it has similarities (and equal validity) to claims of other cargo cults within the South‐West Pacific region.
