- More about The Indonesian Tragedy
The Indonesian Tragedy, published in 1978, argues that Indonesia's lack of economic development is due to the blind attempt to force a Western economic model on a population whose culture and psychology are unsuited to it. The author demonstrates this by depicting the country as he experienced it day to day, drawing on history and the works of sociologists to shed light on the predicament of Indonesia and help illuminate a problem common to much of the Third World.
