THE NAURU ELEGIES By Paul D. Miller THE NAURU ELEGIES THE NAURU ELEGIES NAURU All Money is a matter of belief Adam Smith, Book III, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of The Wealth of Nations 1776 In the realm of the senses, finance doesn’t count for much. It’s hard to quantify emotions and the nuanced complexities of human perception. Since antiquity, governments, emperors, presidents, prime ministers, kings and queens have set up bankers, traders and investors with special extra-territorial zones that create respite from the norms of regulations and import-export tax regimes and in return have asked for a steady stream of highly valued revenue for the public purse. On the other hand, human behavior in large numbers has all the hallmarks of what both mathematicians and behavioral economists like to call “emergent complexity” - we think, live, and exist in a world of numbers. And economics, the “dismal science” is a reflection of when we attempt to assign value to human activity. “Extra-territoriality” is a kind of no-place that mirrors early ideas of “eu- topos” (the operative word, topos, meaning land/scape): it’s a kind of place that could only exist in the absence of contingencies - at the interplay of the “special economic zone” and the “core” there is a mirror process of an extended choreography of storage and retrieval. It’s important to think of the broad contours of this structure as a repetoire of effects whose moving parts constitute an hyper abstract machinery of commerce whose core elements are derived from global trade routes and their interaction with the digital “network economy.” Before modernity, “extra-territorial” domains were concentrated in the Mediterranean basin, because of the many nations that competed for limited resources near Delos in Greco- Roman times, and in Venice, Genoa, Luxembourg and Marseilles during the Middle Ages.
