OK, we're studying the history of economics

0:02

and I don't think I need to

0:03

write and my stomach is starting to hurt

0:06

because I'm already that old, I'm

0:08

just telling stories to my friends in the remaining

0:10

time I have

0:13

[Music]

0:20

like that. Where does the word economy come from

0:23

, friends? Anyone want to know? Anyone

0:25

want to try to answer?

0:32

Hmm. Has anyone ever heard the term

0:34

economics come from? Come on.

0:36

You guys are economics students

0:43

. Where does the word economy

0:55

come from? Yes, of course. At least you guys are like

0:57

, CPT, Google

1:01

like. Nobody really

1:06

knows. Eh, economics comes from the word

1:09

oikonomia, which means managing a

1:11

household. It was created by

1:14

Aristotle, who at that time began to provide

1:17

simple knowledge on how we

1:19

manage income and expenses and

1:21

manage our household.

1:23

Well, but long before Aristotle

1:25

defined economics, economic activities were

1:27

already carried out by humans, namely

1:30

bartering, fulfilling needs and so

1:33

on in a very

1:36

simple scope. From hunting and gathering,

1:39

over time it developed, over time it was

1:40

no longer possible to barter, there were more people

1:41

, more goods, finally

1:43

something called money or a medium of

1:46

exchange emerged. In my previous lecture,

1:47

I said that a medium of exchange is a

1:50

communication product due to mutual agreement.

1:53

In the end, we both agreed that the paper was

1:55

money, right? Well,

1:57

that's it. So, when

1:59

Aristotle's congregation grew, the economy

2:01

continued to grow, my friends.

2:02

Islamic economics, other economics until

2:06

finally, long story short, in

2:10

1775 or

2:12

1776,

2:14

a scholar named Adam Smith

2:16

wrote a book called The World of

2:19

Nations which became the basic foundation of

2:22

modern economics today.

2:26

He said that one of the

2:28

important factors in economic turnover is

2:30

production, namely labor.

2:33

If all individuals always think about

2:36

how to make their money better and

2:37

their life better, then a

2:39

harmonious society will emerge. So

2:42

as long as we think like that,

2:43

we don't need to think about other people,

2:45

we don't need to think about the country,

2:46

just think about ourselves. And if

2:48

each of us is

2:49

truly serious about thinking about

2:51

ourselves, then the ideal society

2:54

will be created, like that.

2:56

That's what Adam Smith thought at

2:57

that time. And the country has become a

2:59

watchman, a night watchman

3:01

, and doesn't need much

3:02

policy intervention. Let the invisible hand

3:05

work. Have you ever heard the term invincible?

3:08

That is what is called the market mechanism,

3:09

supply and demand. So there is no

3:11

need for intervention, let the market

3:13

compete perfectly.

3:15

Then a century later,

3:18

a man named Carl

3:22

Marx appeared, right? It's very common for

3:25

new students to enter campus that

3:27

if they're not left-wing, it's not okay.

3:30

Asked a little, "Wow, Marx said this,"

3:32

like that, "I'm a Marxist, I read Das

3:36

Kapital, I read the communist manifesto,

3:38

okay?" According to them, Karmar is

3:40

not a mainstream figure, even though he is that

3:42

mainstream. When you're older, oh

3:45

yeah like that. Well, Marx ca

3:47

n't really be

3:48

called an economist. He is a philosopher.

3:51

He lives in his name Marsman, yes. Well,

3:55

Carl Mars said, "Ah, that's wrong."

3:57

Adam Smith's Well of Nation.

3:59

Adam Smith's Well of Nation gave birth to

4:01

a mode of production called

4:03

capitalism. As much money as possible,

4:06

as much profit as possible,

4:07

as little capital as possible, squeezing out workers

4:09

who work up to 18 hours a day.

4:12

Labor is not being noticed. Then

4:14

das kapital emerged and criticized

4:15

capitalism as a result of the well of

4:17

nation thinking itself. In fact,

4:19

in the well of nation, there is no word

4:21

capitalism. Capitalism is a word

4:23

made up by Mars. Criticize

4:25

such thinking, prioritizing capital,

4:27

suppressing workers. Well, it turns out the impact is

4:29

that big. BTW, Karl Marx himself was

4:32

never a worker, friends.

4:33

He lives by

4:35

capitalism. Funded by a friend, what's

4:37

his name? Anyone

4:39

knows? Fred Engles. The rich people. Marx

4:43

doesn't want to work, he

4:44

just wants to write. Okay then. About what

4:47

happens to workers. And it had a huge impact. It had a

4:50

huge impact.

4:52

finally continued to

4:54

develop in that year,

4:57

besides Adam Smith, there were many

5:00

other figures such as Ricardo, David

5:03

Ricardo or several others who

5:06

had the same thesis on economics. Well, the

5:09

biggest surge, I mean the

5:11

biggest change, happened in

5:14

1929 to the 1930s. Anyone knows?

5:19

Because from a global economic perspective. That's right.

5:21

That's right. Because of the economic depression that

5:24

occurred in 29. Do you know that you have

5:26

seen the film Great GB?

5:29

Wow, bro. Oh, I forgot that movie was 2013,

5:33

Boss. Do you know the 1920s Hype

5:36

? People who are parti-parti drunk

5:39

partti drunk like that?

5:40

IP. IP, ma'am. What IP? That's so cool. Hi. Oh,

5:46

no. Hipi was in the 0s. So in the

5:49

1920s, America was really all about the American

5:51

Dream. Every morning, evening, and night, there's a

5:53

film on Babylonia, if I'm

5:55

not mistaken, on Netflix. The point is they

5:57

party all the time because they are rich.

5:59

In the past, laundry workers had stock, had shares.

6:02

Until finally the

6:04

great depression happened. That's

6:06

another discussion. Because people can no longer

6:08

return other people's investments, other people's stocks and

6:11

all sorts of things. fall into that economy. That's

6:12

where a

6:15

very famous theory emerged and became the basis of

6:17

today's macroeconomic theory. What is it,

6:19

guys? K theory, right, bro? Mmm,

6:23

a little

6:24

more, eh, semester 4, semester 6,

6:27

you know.

6:30

This is called the Kenesian Theory, which was

6:34

created by John Miner Kanes in

6:38

his book The General Theory. Well, he

6:40

criticized a lot of

6:42

classical economic thinking at that time. He said that

6:45

these classical economists messed everything up,

6:47

so according to classical economists of

6:50

Adam Speed's era and above,

6:53

unemployment doesn't exist, Boss.

6:56

There are people who don't want to

6:58

work because they haven't received a

7:00

decent salary and all that. So, in the end,

7:02

everyone there, all

7:04

classical economists saw that

7:06

there were workers who were unemployed because they had not

7:07

received offers and were oversupplied. The

7:10

right proposal finally made me unemployed. That's

7:12

according to classical economic theory

7:15

because in the end they will also

7:18

work when supply and demand

7:20

meet. Well, according to John Mk,

7:23

according to Skin, it's not like that, Boss. It's not like that,

7:25

this is stupid, this is what he said, like

7:26

Timothy 6, right? When he said, "Ah, that Kis

7:30

said something stupid," this is what he said. You guys

7:33

wake up playing GTA, he said, it increases

7:37

your nutritional LC. Well, John Miner

7:40

certainly isn't like that, is he? He said

7:41

no. He said that there are people who are

7:43

unemployed because there are no

7:45

job opportunities.

7:48

And it turned out to be true. Then

7:51

M also

7:54

said that classical economic theory says

7:56

that supply will always be

7:58

defeated by demand. There will be no

8:00

goods that will not run out. that's

8:02

also wrong. There are times when the item

8:05

doesn't sell. But according to

8:07

classical economists, the goods will definitely sell sooner

8:10

or

8:11

later and in 100 years they will definitely

8:13

sell. Then K denied it again. Yes, we're gonna die he said

8:18

. If we think that far, we

8:20

will all die in the end

8:22

without ever seeing whether

8:24

the goods sold or not. So, he broke the fundamentals of

8:26

many classical economic theories and

8:30

updated them very well.

8:32

One of the most famous is

8:34

aggregate demand. He calculated GDP, he

8:36

calculated, "Oh, we can't just

8:37

look at supply. We also have to

8:38

look at aggregate demand,

8:40

the fulfillment of employment opportunities. We

8:42

have to see, oh, the government needs

8:44

intervention. It can't all be

8:46

given to the market or all

8:48

to the market. For example, if there's a

8:51

recession like this, a depression like this,

8:52

the government has to step in, it has to

8:54

provide incentives, it has to provide direct cash assistance, it has to

8:57

create jobs so that people

8:59

work, so that there's money circulating.

9:01

That's the function of government spending

9:03

and it was successful in overcoming the

9:06

Great Depression of

9:11

1929 which ultimately led to World War

9:14

II and everything was successful. Has anyone

9:17

heard of

9:18

this?

9:23

Okay. So, do you have any questions up to this point

9:28

? Do you understand what I'm

9:30

telling you? Do you understand? If you don't

9:33

understand, please ask

9:36

even the most trivial questions, bro.

9:37

What demand, what supply? It's

9:40

okay, safe. So that it's easy, so that you understand

9:43

. There's a term that I've tried

9:45

to make simple, but

9:47

if you don't understand, it's okay,

9:48

we'll explain it again

9:51

. Because This time here, you won't

9:53

get any grades, you won't get any homework, you

9:55

won't get any assignments, right? After this is

9:56

over, our individual lives will

9:58

pass by, right? So, please,

10:02

if I don't

10:05

continue. Okay, I'll continue.

10:08

Until 1970, everyone finally

10:11

turned to

10:14

Jermainer Kin's general theory, but finally, the world

10:16

faced another problem, friends,

10:18

called

10:21

stagflation. So

10:23

in some circumstances, it's impossible for

10:25

inflation and

10:27

unemployment to go hand in hand, it's

10:29

impossible because in

10:31

inflation theory, there's a Phillips curve called,

10:33

in the short term, the higher the

10:35

inflation, the

10:38

lower the unemployment rate because there's

10:40

more money in circulation.

10:41

So, jobs are increasingly

10:43

open. And vice versa. Well,

10:45

stagflation is a situation where unemployment is high,

10:47

inflation is also high. Confused about using

10:49

K's theory, you can't use the

10:52

Kenesian method, you can't. Finally, there's

10:55

another method that

10:57

people have known for a long time, but it's not

10:59

used, it's called

11:01

neoliberalism. J was the initiator of it, Freedman

11:04

and Hayek. There's a book called The Road of

11:06

Serdom. Well, neoliberalism is even

11:09

worse. rather than a classical economist.

11:11

He said, "Well, the government

11:12

really shouldn't interfere

11:14

with the market. The market really has to

11:17

be made as easy as that. And even if there are

11:20

negative things that arise from

11:23

market mechanisms, that is the consequence

11:26

of the market working that way. There

11:28

will be disparities, but the pie will get

11:30

bigger. That's why there has to be a private sector,

11:32

that's why the government has to carry out

11:34

privatization, just leave it to the private sector.

11:36

That's what happened. And it turns out that the

11:38

stagnation, whether directly or

11:40

indirectly, large or small, is

11:42

affected by this and is indeed

11:44

finished. Well, people are getting more confused about

11:46

who is right, both of them are

11:48

solving the problem, you know.

11:51

Well, until finally something appeared again that

11:53

I had recovered from, eh, long story

11:55

short, which briefly touched on

11:57

behavioral economics, which proves

12:00

that every economic decision does not

12:02

occur rationally until

12:04

2008 when economists, when the

12:07

American economy fell, because of this, have

12:09

you ever watched this,

12:11

ee The Big Shot? There are some who have ever had a little bit of it

12:17

. Well, that's

12:19

your only homework. You guys should

12:21

watch BigST and if

12:24

there are any terms you don't understand,

12:25

DM me. From there, you will

12:28

love this course and love

12:31

this major. Because it's so cool. Are

12:35

you serious. And there's Margot

12:38

Robbie, there's Brad

12:41

Pitt. Brad Pitt. Everyone loves Brad

12:44

Pitt. Braditt. Yes There are many,

12:47

many big actors, there is Rian

12:50

Gosling, Steve Carol. So one of the

12:52

best movies I've ever seen. Well,

12:54

the fall of the American economy due to

12:57

subprime mortgages

12:59

due to property credit defaults and so on,

13:02

that crash fell. Well,

13:05

finally the method used is again the

13:07

government spending kinesian that

13:09

saved the economy in 2029.

13:12

What does it mean? This means that economics,

13:15

economics is not a definite theory,

13:17

friends. It's analytical in nature, that's all.

13:20

Adapting to the context, adapting to

13:22

the situation, adapting to the society.

13:25

And this complicated complexity,

13:27

this big one, it has to be calculated with

13:30

absolute precision so there are no mistakes.

13:32

That's why talking about economics won't

13:34

always be popular. For example, we know that

13:37

BLT is a bad policy. In

13:39

theory, we understand that this BLT is

13:41

bad. But in reality, it is

13:43

needed to stimulate people

13:46

to consume. Because if

13:48

people are not stimulated to

13:50

consume, then money will not

13:53

circulate. Okay, to be fair, now eating

13:56

free lunch or free nutritious food,

13:58

whatever it is called, we can't

14:00

just see it as lunch

14:02

. But the money that isn't used

14:05

for lunch ends up turning the

14:06

wheels of the economy. That's the concept.

14:10

But if that's the theory, but in

14:13

reality, it's not implemented

14:15

properly and ends up with a program that

14:17

is already burdening our state budget, but

14:19

it turns out that parents still have to buy

14:22

food because the food they were given is

14:23

rotten, well, that means it has no

14:26

impact on

14:28

our economy. Like that. That is the history of

14:32

economics and its application

14:35

in our daily needs. Do you

14:38

know why masks are expensive? during

14:40

COVID

14:43

because ee because don't go to malls and

14:47

other markets, Mas. In the end, whether

14:49

or not ee is an investor is

14:51

a certainty, whether

14:54

or not it is an

14:55

investment that has been going on

14:58

for several periods or years.

15:00

Mask prices. Oh, the price of the mask. Mask mask

15:03

time need need. That's right

15:07

. Hence the elasticity or

15:10

demand and supply curve. The law of

15:12

supply is that we will always

15:13

shop, we will always sell goods

15:15

when the price is high

15:16

as much as possible. The law of demand

15:18

is that we will buy goods when

15:20

we can truly achieve the

15:23

optimal price. And when prices

15:25

continue to rise and the item has a

15:27

substitute,

15:29

for example, consumers will switch

15:31

to other items. But if

15:33

conditions are inelastic like

15:34

yesterday's masks because there are no substitutes,

15:36

you want to talk about morality as long as you

15:38

talk about helping good people blah blah blah blah

15:40

still masks are sold for Rp.

15:42

80,000, people will buy Rp. 100,000.

15:45

Because it is inelastic, because there is no

15:46

substitute, there is no substitution.

15:49

That's how fair the economy is. It's not that

15:51

fair, it's that frank about

15:53

economics. When you include a

15:55

nojujutsu lecture, one video on

15:58

YouTube or 10 posts on Twitter

16:00

doesn't make a difference. People still sell

16:02

them, people still buy them, and

16:05

masks still sell well in those times. How does it

16:07

work? The way is to have a

16:09

substitute called a homemade cloth mask

16:11

. Mask prices are starting to return to

16:13

normal because people are hoarding them.

16:16

Well, that's how the economy works,

16:18

folks. For example, during the

16:19

cooking oil shortage a few years ago,

16:22

cooking oil sellers were

16:24

buying cooking oil for Rp. 20,000. Well,

16:26

the government has set a limit, the maximum it

16:28

can be sold is IDR 1,000. What does

16:30

the seller do?

16:32

Hoard. That's how the economy

16:35

works, the market mechanism works.

16:37

Why am I selling it? I bought it for Rp. 20,000.

16:40

That is the important role of the government

16:43

in maintaining economic stability. If

16:45

the government is not right, not

16:47

smart, that's what

16:49

happens. It's clear that there's a problem in

16:53

our cooking oil market, but we

16:56

're selling it for

16:59

14,000. Finally what? Finally, more and more

17:01

dark transactions are taking place, just

17:03

like

17:06

cigarettes. Can anyone explain to me the

17:08

smoking problem in Indonesia? That's a

17:10

problem, bro. Yes How is that?

17:12

Who is the official one? If it's

17:15

official now, like all that, the

17:17

prices are getting more and more

17:19

expensive, bro, right? Hey. Well,

17:20

now there are alternatives from

17:22

farmers who sell semiis and

17:26

all sorts of things. Are the farmers

17:28

selling it themselves? E no, I mean like without

17:30

opening it, meaning directly to

17:33

consumers without going through the government. Have you

17:35

ever bought that? Once. Still until now

17:38

?

17:39

But really, you bought it in the end, right?

17:42

Because

17:45

actually the solution is for you to stop

17:47

smoking, not buy cheap ones, not buy

17:50

illegal ones, those are

17:52

illegal cigarettes. Well that's it. But the fact is that the

17:54

reality is like that.

17:56

Where will your name be, Gosensor? Later the sound

17:59

will be like the sound of helium,

18:01

you know. Well that happened. Is Mr.

18:05

Husein wrong?

18:07

No. No. Yes, you could say that

18:09

legally it is wrong to consume

18:11

illegal cigarettes. But that's how the market works, right?

18:13

While the taste is the

18:15

same. In the end, who loses?

18:17

The community loses, the cigarette producers

18:20

lose. Who benefits? Yes,

18:23

this illegal perpetrator. The country also suffers losses due to

18:25

policies that are not on target. Well, that's how

18:27

complicated it is when we discuss

18:29

a country's economy. Therefore, when the

18:31

Finance Minister of One Country

18:33

makes more populist decisions than

18:35

populists, there is a problem

18:38

there. People support the higher price of cigarettes

18:41

so that more people will

18:43

not quit. Did the stop?

18:45

No. He was looking for illegal cigarettes. And

18:48

there are millions of people like this outside of

18:50

Java. That's right. In Sumatra, especially

18:53

if you go to Sumatra now, you won't

18:54

find cigarettes

18:57

made from needles, warehouses, salt, Sampurna.

19:00

No, the cigarettes mentioned earlier,

19:02

Lukman, Smith and so on. Is

19:06

not it?

19:08

Yes, in the end people look for

19:10

cheaper substitutes instead of adapting to

19:12

their needs. And this destroys

19:15

the economy from within as well. The person also

19:17

doesn't stop smoking. I never

19:19

met anyone because cigarette excise tax increased. There

19:22

are no people who have stopped smoking.

19:24

Because it is always because the

19:27

law enforcement in our place in this country that

19:29

we love so much is still not

19:31

strong enough. So this is what I'm going to teach you guys.

19:34

Especially after you graduate or

19:36

after becoming a bureaucrat or employee, for example

19:38

. The choice of diction is very

19:40

important, friends. I said that

19:43

law enforcement in our area is still

19:45

rotten. Well, that could be a problem. But

19:47

when I said that law enforcement was

19:49

not strong enough, it was okay, he

19:51

didn't make a speech even though it was the same.

19:55

This is really random, right? And it

19:57

really happened. I often say,

19:59

"You're rude if you want to call someone stupid

20:00

. Eh, you're stupid." Yes, that's really rude.

20:03

But yes, we are facing this problem of

20:05

intellectual limitations. Well,

20:08

it means the same thing but the person won't be

20:10

offended. Well, that's why Indonesia has

20:13

regulations like this

20:15

. And that's how economics works, the

20:17

cigarette problem. Can anyone give an

20:19

example of another problem, another case study

20:22

? HP, Sir. Why HP? E yesterday's

20:25

iPhone 11. Huh? Yesterday,

20:28

the PKD policy was put on hold for how long?

20:31

In the end, there are many mafias who are

20:34

following goods to Indonesia

20:36

at a fierce price,

20:38

burning above the SRP price.

20:42

How much did you buy them for? Are your headphones

20:45

16 loko lu

20:48

Smith. That's really cool. Did

20:51

you buy that too? If I'm honest, I would

20:53

definitely buy it, sir.

20:56

Oh, wait.

20:59

Sorry for the receipt here because I'm

21:01

selling and getting a discount.

21:04

For your cellphone, you can

21:06

buy an iPhone 16 Pro or 16, which will

21:10

definitely cost over Rp million. Your cigarettes,

21:15

Sid. Good grief.

21:19

Okay, that's a good example.

21:20

Because of the TKDN, in the end it still

21:23

doesn't reduce people's desire to buy the iPhone

21:25

16 Pro. And finally what? Finally

21:27

people went to Singapore. That's not the case, is

21:29

n't it, and the funny thing is that you had an iPhone

21:33

16 Pro when it was banned, it's not

21:38

illegal. It's funny, isn't it? It is not an

21:42

illegal activity. For example, when I went to Singapore,

21:43

I was banned from buying an

21:44

iPhone. I used it for myself, it was

21:46

legal and safe. I registered my email at customs. When I

21:48

was finished, how much potential

21:50

loss was there? So don't set TKDN at 40%, for example. Wow,

21:54

in terms of nomenclature, name, and

21:57

title, this is really good

21:58

. It has to be local 60% 40% all sorts

22:03

in

22:04

practice. Yes Taking goods from

22:06

China's minance and assembling them here, they say

22:08

our goods are sold five times

22:11

more expensive.

22:13

Because of the temporary TKDN,

22:15

we cannot take good items because they are

22:16

not

22:17

TKDN. And in the end, people choose to

22:20

buy good things, where else?

22:23

Singapore. So Singapore, Singapore is

22:26

rich because of us, there is

22:29

another country that is rich because of us.

22:31

Cambodia boss. Yes

22:36

Seeing a Rolls-Royce circulating in Jakarta is

22:38

not an

22:40

easy thing. In Cambodia, when you leave the house, you

22:43

see that it's our money

22:46

. Well, this is because of what?

22:49

Because in formulating our police economy, we are

22:52

still

22:53

populist. Ah, morally, what is it really like

22:55

? Ee ee how should I make this

22:59

? No, no, no,

23:00

not in a technocratic or academic way,

23:03

in conducting studies, in

23:06

making important decisions that make the

23:08

masses happy. The important thing is

23:10

to appear pro-people, regardless of which people are being

23:13

pro-people. What is important is that if

23:16

the student gets the grades they are on the side of, even though

23:20

the problems that arise are like those mentioned

23:22

above. And both of them, if

23:25

narrated on social media, are

23:26

good policies. increase cigarette excise

23:29

to stop smoking, increase TKTN

23:31

for domestic industry. And

23:33

the result is this is it.

23:38

Yes our economy too later.
