Based on the Constitution of 1945 Indonesia adhere Pancasila Economic System. This system firstly promoted by Emil Salim and Mubyarto , Pancasila Economic system is an economic system based on the values of Pancasila and Constitution of 1945, emphasizing in the principle of kinship and deliberation, agreement. This is stated in Article 33, Constitution of 1945 verse 1:
“The economy is structured as a joint effort based on the principle of kinship” .
And verse 4:
“The national economy shall be organized based on economic democracy with the principle of togetherness, efficiency with justice, sustainability, environmental-oriented, independence, and altogether balancing and national economic unity”
From the verse, we can clearly see that Indonesian

The government also can regulate the economy in order to achieved shared and fair prosperity to its entire people. However, although still using to the constitution of 1945 as its foundation, each and every single regime has its own style, according to the political trend and who led the country during those eras. Those distinctive features to an extent also reflected into the chosen economic system in each regime.
1. Old Regime Era
The characteristic of this Old Regime is the high spirit of nationality and independence as well as sense of pride and empowerment from finally became liberated. This nuance was also reflected to the economic system of Indonesia, proven by Old Order economic motto, Berdikari “Berdiri di Kaki Sendiri” (Stand on Our Own Feet), implies the will to become independence.
Although its positive spirits, Indonesia had to deal with many challenges a new independent country had to face. A few examples are:
1. High inflation caused by the usage of more than one currency post-independence. Those currencies are De Javasche Bank, East-Indies, NICA and Japanese currency.
2. Import-Export Blockade by the Dutch
3. Indonesia did not have national

Therefore, not long before he came into power he tried to steer Indonesia to become more economically liberalistic, as a way to gain enough capital to develop the country because of failed socialist-streaked economy in Soekarno era. The realization of his presidency’s tendency toward liberal economy was proven when the Berkeley Mafia, a board of selected US-Graduate economists, chosen by President Soeharto, held an Indonesian Investment Conference with many global capitalists in Geneva. This conference resulted to the passing of Law regarding Foreign Investment. This law which was formulated together with global capitalists really supported and eased up for foreign investors to invest in Indonesia. President Soeharto also forged cooperation with
“Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness”, these words by John Locke shaped the 19th century and beyond and became the key principles to many societies. The colonist battle for freedom against the British during the American Revolution became a global rallying cry for liberty and independence which made a global connection both ideologically and economically. 1776 was the beginning of oppressed people all around the world to stand up and stop what they know is wrong. The beginning of the colonist revolt was a written document written through a magazine article called the “Copy of the Association”.
The Bacons rebellion, King Phillip War , Glorious Revolution was the reason for the Colonial crisis. The power struggle between stubborn, selfish leaders is what caused economic issues, including the right to vote, and a decrease in crop’s for survival. The social class, making the poor an established name of category is what created more crisis. The Salem Witch trials reflected on the colonial crisis in many ways.
The progress differed in the ways of intervening and reform. For instance, the well-known idea “antimonopoly” which appealed to a lot. “Antimonopoly” was the fear of concentrated power,
“They had been honed and trained so thoroughly by that extinguished world that they were doomed in this new one” (Zone One 31). Colson Whitehead 's novel, Zone One, draws attention to the issue of consumer capitalism through a post-apocalyptic plot line. Likewise, Leif Sorensen draws on a similar point by discussing how Zone One feeds into his claim that “the novel’s commitment to closure is driven in part by a sense that repetitive cycles of late-capitalist futurism offer change in name only” (561). In other words, an aspect of consumer society includes a presentation of a new idea, product, or concept that is actually a previous idea rebranded. My essay builds and extends this claim by focusing on an overlooked aspect of the novel, the stragglers
Document 5 and document 7 show the purpose that individual overview is not effective. Government intervention would allow for a more prosperous and effective society instead of divided ineffective self government. Each document comes to that realization. Additionally document 5 wants to limit the monopolies or trust that have complete control over the economy with government interaction such as restrictions implementation. It also says that we are at war with humanity and its elements and that the need for the government to interaction is crucial to society.
Furthermore, we developed a fully independent and thriving economic system as well as overthrown the old social order. With this, it enabled putting in place a system of social equality unlike the world has ever seen. Most of these transformations had good intentions to bring a lot of new ideas of government; also there were a lot of uncertainties during this time. The new radically democratic form of government had faced some major challenges that covered various facets of concern, growth, power, and potential risks.
Powerful Governments A government is to be in charge of the economic affairs, policy, and actions of a country. There are various types of governments, with laws and restrictions that citizens are to follow. These laws and restrictions can easily be taken to extremes as portrayed in George Orwell’s 1984.
Things were complicated considering that each colony had its own currency, and there wasn’t a “set in stone” currency used throughout the colonies. During the American Revolution, there wasn’t very much paper money given by the Colonial Government. So coins or species were used instead of paper money, but since England was in control Colonists began to become scarce of coins. The cause of the inflation was related to taxes and the lack of money in Colonial America. When trade, processing, and small scale were brought into the equation the issue escalated.
The Hans and the imperialistic Romans entered the scene at a crucial time when many societies were facing different issues, and their administrative techniques led to how countries are run today. Comparing past political forces is key to understanding why structures exist today as is, and allows a chance to learn from past failures that were repeated over a variety of
Definition of Capitalism What is capitalism? According to Adam Smith, both parties in a capitalist system, the buyer and the seller, act in a voluntary transaction to achieve the outcome that serves their self-interest. However, both parties cannot obtain what they want without delivering the needs of the other. In definition, capitalism is an economic system where properties can be controlled and owned by private sectors to suit their interest, which is to gain profits, while the demand and supply of goods and services set the market prices to serve the interest of the society.
Imperial administration in ancient South Asia and ancient East Asia had many similarities and differences among them. , during the period of 600 BCE- 600 CE. Ancient South Asia and ancient East Asia both had their lands controlled in some sort of system administration, which at many times pertained to some sort of religion symbolism. However, ancient South Asia proclaimed a “caste system”, a hierarchy in which placed people each in their own role or purpose in life- and were born into it; in contrast, in ancient East Asia their imperial administration consisted of an emperor which would rule all of the area, make the rules, and proclaim control over the people.
Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and, then purchasing power falling over a period of time. When price level rises, dollar buys fewer goods and services. Therefore, inflation results in loss of value of money.
Although industrialization brought better income to the society, the people were dissatisfied with the government as it was moribund. The leader, Napoleon III, took a liberal stance, amnestying political exiles and reducing restrains on the press. The imperial dictatorship has been transformed into a constitutional monarchy. While some sectors of the society were in concert with Napoleon III’s reformist ideal; some were of equal concern.
Regulations that the government implement, licensing for example, increases the barrier of entry into the market and decreases ways for the traders to gratify consumer demand. This case is prevalent in the monopoly market. The market is sometimes best to decide how much and what to produce since it has better information and knowledge of the consumers compared to the government. Economic decisions may also not be competent when the government is motivated by political power rather than economic imperatives. Sometimes, economic policies are designed to retain power rather than to ensure maximum efficiency in the economy.
In order to compare and contrast varying types of government within two or more countries, one must have a clear definition of Government and know the purposes it serves. Therefore, I did some research and I have established that Government is a group that exercises dominant power over a nation, state, society or other body of people. Governments are commonly responsible for constructing and implementing laws, handling money, and defending the general population from external threats, and may have other obligations or privileges. All over the world, there are many different types of government within countries. Each kind has its advantages as well as disadvantages regarding the general well-being of its peoples and economy.
