The video introduces the concept of 'Berdikari' (standing on one's own feet) in the economy, following the previous discussion on equitable welfare. It questions the importance of Indonesia being self-reliant economically to achieve prosperity without foreign dependence.
'Berdikari' in economics is part of President Sukarno's Trisakti concept, highlighting that Indonesia's future is in its own hands. It explains that 'Berdikari' relates to the proverb 'bigger peg than pole' (living beyond one's means), leading to debt. The video warns against foreign debt, which can lead to dependency and foreign influence on a country's economic policies, hindering equitable prosperity.
To avoid dependency, individuals and the nation must strive to meet their own needs without relying on others. This is the essence of 'Berdikari' or self-reliance, which is crucial for the nation's economic independence.
'Berdikari' can be implemented in schools by teaching students to value and use domestic products, and by offering entrepreneurship extracurriculars. Another way is to revitalize cooperatives based on economic democracy, entrepreneurship, technology, and Pancasila's moral foundations. Cooperatives represent a tangible form of economic cooperation.
By practicing 'Berdikari' and supporting cooperatives, Indonesia can achieve prosperity for all of its people, uphold its economic sovereignty, and realize the national aspiration for a just and prosperous society. The video concludes with a quick quiz, reaffirming that 'Berdikari' means standing on one's own feet, especially in the economy, by fulfilling needs independently without external reliance.
