货币的政治逻辑与国际货币体系的演变

货币不仅仅只是市场交易的媒介,更是一种权力,它不仅对社会财富具有分配效应,同时也能够为货币发行者直接带来财富,货币从产生到被普遍接受与国家权力密不可分,这就是货币的政治逻辑。货币的权力特征使得国际货币体系的演变往往不能遵循以效率为原则的市场逻辑,而是充满着国家间的博弈和斗争。美元在崛起的过程中并不仅仅依赖自身的市场竞争力,也是美国政府积极运作的结果。美元所面临的挑战不仅在于欧元和人民币的竞争,更在于美国的传统盟友欧盟国家和日本能否在今后一如既往地支持美元,以及美国能否获得以中国、俄罗斯、巴西和印度等国家为代表的新兴经济体在货币问题上的合作。

The Pacific Islanders' Fund and the Misappropriation of the Wages of Deceased Pacific Islanders by the Queensland Government

The Queensland Pacific Islanders' Fund operated between 1885 and the 1900s but is largely unknown today. It was established in the Treasury to facilitate the operation of the Pacific Island Labourers Act 1880 Amendment Act 1885 to safeguard return fares and to ensure that the money due to deceased Islanders was returned to their families. However, over time, because of the high death rates, the wages of deceased Islanders became so substantial that they were able to be used to supplement the administration of the whole labour trade. Money was drawn off to subsidize Islander hospitals and Christian missions, to an extent that in the final 1900s deportation years there was no longer enough money available to pay full fares. The Queensland government seldom returned the full wages to the families of the deceased Islanders and profited largely from their deaths. In today's money, millions of dollars were misappropriated, in similar fashion to wages misappropriated by the same government from Aborigines.
