This morning I saw a new
apartment near a crowd road. And I was thinking, what the hell do the developer
thinking by placed an apartment there; it’s already full of vehicles almost
every time. Well, as we all know, Jakarta has rare vacant land due to non-stop
infrastructure development. And the jakartans are like, beleaguered by those
skyscrapers. It’s because many businesspeople feel that Jakarta is a potential
city to grow their business, so they only thinking about build profitable
building without concern to environment.
There are small shops and houses
near the apartment, and I think it is the ironic scenery that showing the high
level people and low people living inequality together. But that’s how the
economic system goes. The businesspeople always think about obtaining more and
more profit, and who doesn't get profit, will end up in poverty.
You must think that the ‘economy
system’ that I mentioned is capitalism, which is bad. The Marxism might show in
your head, says that equality in economy is a must. The government should let
people take over the industry, and give the profit back to people, not to keep
it and ignoring others suffering.
However, I think now our country
is still trying to find perfect economy system in modern and better way. Every
element in our society should working together to make our economy better.
This modernized society, instead
of capitalist economy, should be called mixed economy. Generally speaking, it’s
founded by three elements, Individual, enterprise, and government.
Individuals consists of labor,
land, capital goods etc, and provides services for other economic entities in
return for remuneration. Vice versa, enterprises depend on individuals and
other enterprises’ services’ remuneration to earn intermediary fees from the
production services.
Well, this is not a lecture from
me. I just hope that young generation in Indonesia to be ready to lead our
economy in the future, to create better economy and environment.
Therefore, if you have any idea
or opinion about what should happen in Indonesia’s economy, feel free to
comment here. See you in the future, business leaders!
