Best Answer

From an etic perspective, this type of economic distribution provides a method of shifting products from regions of plenty to regions of scarcity. As Harris (1987) notes, the etic perspective of the kula differs from the emic perspective described above. The kula ring is ceremonial in nature and not a barter system. However, kula voyages can promote utilitarian trading. Men on a kula expedition carry both food and manufactured items, including pottery, baskets, and mats, to places lacking resources and trade for materials to bring back to their villages.
