Neoliberalism and law formulation

Megawati recently made these written statement:

"Kejadian yang dialami oleh Prita merupakan bukti kasat mata, dampak dari neoliberalisme, di mana kekuatan pasar bebas dengan lembaga-lembaga multinasionalnya dapat dengan mudah menggunakan hukum seperti UU 11/2008 tentang Informasi Transaksi Elektronik (ITE)"

Despite much sloganism inside and citicism to it, would Indonesia would be better off if all the legal product is evaluated publicly whether it will benefit corporation more than commom citizen. Even more so if it is done by an independent body with competent people on it.

Let the debate continue.

As expected, politicians always have problem in thinking "straight". now she blames neolib for this, she must have forgotten that without this neolib a.k.a pasar bebas thingy, her husband will be treated in puskesmas, instead of "international" hospital.

to get a decent treatment her husband will need to go all the way to singapore for his treatment. oh wait, without neolib she will find it difficult to get a direct flight to changi airport :)

a very pasionate defencse of neo-lib.

Just worry that neo-lib becoming a catch all label to blame people or group.

We need a real and substantive discussion on future economic policy of Indonesia. Not name calling.

Sri Mulyani deliver an excellent pice here
