The article is in two parts with the first part showing that the material in the New Zealand Business Roundtable documents is consistent with the contemporary, international, libertarian ideology. The second part draws parallels between this material and the characteristics shown by religious movements, including a claiming of authority from past prophets, a belief in an overarching Power, a missionary zeal to convert others, a canon of texts, a 'theodicy', a sense of bonding among believers, a 'doctrine' of humanity, and the use of ritual language. The article concludes that the documents show a self-supporting belief system built on a fallacious theoretical premise.
本文分为两部分，第一部分表明新西兰商业圆桌会议文件中的内容与当代国际自由主义意识形态相符。第二部分将此内容与宗教运动所展现的特征进行了比较，这些特征包括宣称从过去的先知那里获得权威、信仰一种至高无上的力量、热衷于劝化他人的传教热情、一套经文、一种“神正论”、信徒之间的团结感、一种关于人性的“教义”以及仪式化语言的运用。文章得出结论，这些文件显示出一个建立在错误理论前提之上的自我支撑的信仰体系。
