The Paradox of Indonesia Book Is a Comparison Book of Indonesian and Chinese Economies

Pojok Nasional. Presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto often distributes the book 'Paradox Indonesia' in his political activities. The economics of the book he wrote was a lot of criticizing the issue of economic policy. In addition, Prabowo compared Indonesia with China (China).


The first print of the book 'Paradox Indonesia' was published in February 2017. In the initial chapter, Prabowo wrote that the economy in Indonesia was mismanaged.


"For example, we can compare our achievements with China, and our neighboring country Singapore. The difference in the size of the economy or China's gross domestic product (GDP) in the 30 year period from 1985 to 2015 is 35 times. In 1985, China's GDP was $ 309 billion - this figure rose to $ 11,008 in 2015. In comparison, in the same period, the size of Singapore's economy grew 15-fold, the size of the Indonesian economy only grew 10-fold.


Prabowo then questioned the way China achieved significant economic growth. After that, he dissected the policies carried out by China.


"According to the study of many economists, China's economic growth can be so fast because China seriously implements the principles of state capitalism, meaning that all important production branches control the livelihoods of many people, and all natural resources are controlled by the country, "Prabowo wrote.


The Indonesian paradox book is also published in the braille version. The book 'Indonesian paradox' is also published in the Braille version.


According to Prabowo, all state-owned enterprises in China are fully controlled by the state. China, said Prabowo, made BUMN as the spearhead of its development.


"In the meantime, we, even though the sound of Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution is almost the same as the principle of Chinese capitalism, in managing important production branches that control the livelihoods of many people and natural resources, we actually hand over the management of our economy to market mechanisms, "Prabowo explained.


Prabowo saw an error in managing economic policy in Indonesia. Prabowo then called China to carry out policies as stated in Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, but he did not explicitly ask the Republic of Indonesia to follow China.


"In other words, we do not seriously implement Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, while China does it," said Prabowo.
