FIB UNDIP – The Faculty of Humanities of Diponegoro University (FIB Undip) once again presents a bersal chat through Suara Budaya Podcast.
In this latest episode, Suara Budaya FIB Undip invites listeners to look at the current economic condition of Indonesia through the lens of macroeconomic history with Dr. Drs. Haryono Rinardi, M.Hum., a macroeconomic history expert who has been pursuing the field for a long time.
Reading Economics Through Historical Traces
In this discussion, Dr. Haryono Rinardi emphasized that understanding the economy is not enough just by looking at today’s data. Economic history gives a complete picture of how a nation grows, faces crises, and determines the direction of future policies.
Indonesia, according to him has a long experience that can be an important lesson to read the current economic challenges. As one of the academics in Indonesia who consistently pursues the history of macroeconomics, Dr. Haryono presents a rare point of view.
He explained how Indonesia’s economic dynamics were formed from time to time, starting from the colonial era, the beginning of independence, to the period of modern development.
History as a Mirror and Learning
This podcast also raises the idea that history is not just a story of the past, but a tool of reflection. By understanding the economic patterns that have happened, people can see today’s economic problems more clearly and critically.
Economic history, in this context, becomes an intellectual resource to understand policies, social changes, and the direction of national development.
According to Dr. Haryono, the historical approach helps us understand why certain policies were born, how they impact society, and what lessons can be taken so that similar mistakes are not repeated.
