Hymans:The Changing Color of Money Table 3 A Secular Change in the Locus of Actorhood?

Table 4 answers the question of whether there has been a secular change in the nature of goals depicted by currency images.This table shows that indeed there has been a secular shift.The use of classical images(represent- ing traditional goals)starts out dominant and then gradually vanishes into thin air.The use of historical images(representing materialist goals)begins strongly in the 1920s;it subsequently holds its ground in percentage terms down to the present day.This persistence represents a minor anomalous finding for the 'cultural shift'hypothesis,which would expect representa- tions of materialist goals to decline in the more recent period.Meanwhile the use of cultural images (representing post-materialist goals)begins strongly in the 1950s and then soars in the current period.The results of the chi-squared test show that we can reject the null hypothesis that the row and column data are unrelated. 13 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.Further reproduction prohibited without permission.Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.
