Kalau Bisa Dipersulit, Kenapa Dipermudah?
Kok Ribet Banget Sih Ngurus Birokrasi di Negeri Wakanda? Mengurus berkas dan izin ke pejabat pemerintahan yang seharusnya selesai dalam tiga hari sering kali berubah menjadi urusan yang berminggu-minggu. Persyaratannya sudah lengkap, formulirnya sudah diisi, dan semua dokumen yang diminta sudah diserahkan. Akan tetapi ketika kembali sesuai jadwal, ternyata masih ada berkas yang kurang dan diminta untuk melengkapi. Beberapa hari kemudian, sistem yang ada sedang bermasalah. Set

The Myth of Merit: Indonesia’s Troubling Tale of Social Mobility
Having a job, a decent living standard, and an adequate access to opportunities is a dream for some people, while some others are living in a bed of roses, taking for granted everything the poor wish for. This concern is later supported by the data of a shrinking middle class in Indonesia from 47.9 million people in 2024 to 46.7 million in 2025, and at the same time, the aspiring middle class (AMC) increased by 4.5 million people and now accounts for 50.4 percent of the popul

Hello! I Would Like to Rent This Place for Nine Months: The Surrogate Mother Market
On the eve of 2025, Lily Collins, the figurehead of the worldwide-renowned Netflix series, Emily in Paris, stuns the red carpet. And only a few weeks later, she and her husband celebrated the birth of their first child, which evidently sent ripples to the internet, because amongst the words used to describe her at that event, pregnant was definitely not one of them. The answer to this is something that’s not unfamiliar to the upper deciles of Western society, and it lies in t

Membaca Kembali Pemikiran Sumitronomics
Kacamata tebal, setelan jas yang necis, dan gaya bicara khas orang zaman Orde Baru. Itulah kesan pertama yang saya dapatkan dari menonton Kuliah Perdana; Bagian I dari Universitas Terbuka. Beliau adalah Prof. Sumitro Djojohadikusumo. Seorang tokoh yang dijuluki media sebagai Begawan Ekonomi Indonesia. Julukan yang wajar mengingat banyak muridnya yang kemudian menjadi arsitek-arsitek perekonomian Indonesia. Pikirkan nama-nama yang pernah berpengaruh dalam pengelolaan ekonomi

Till Death Do Us MarketCan You Really Own a Place to Die?
Ever heard of San Diego Hills in Karawang? Not just your regular basic cemetery. This premium luxury memorial park comes complete with lots of facilities that you can’t even imagine: an amazing lake, bicycle tracks, swimming pool, and even a camping ground. At first glance, it sounds almost absurd. Why would anyone need such luxurious facilities in a place meant for the dead? These days, buying and owning a house have become increasingly difficult. But what if I told you tha

CABINET COUTURE vs. CORRUPT CULTURE: Unveiling The Nation's Rich Aunties' Birkin Obsession
Just a few moments ago, a unique instagram account popped up, stealing a cute username of @CabinetCouture_IDN and a satirical tagline ‘from rakyat taxes to runway pieces’. This-so-called Cabinet Couture later leaked the officials’ luxury goods collections which laudably enraged the rich aunties. Wait... what do you mean by rich aunties? Of course, the official’s wives! What else could it be, duh. Now the tension is red, just a shade lighter than their lipstick shade. Welcomin

What Does Your Playlist Say About You?
Fenomena di Balik Playlist Kita “Playlist ini cocok bgt buat kamu nih”. Kalimat seperti itu kerap kita temukan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari ketika berbicara tentang musik. Tanpa sadar, kita sering menghubungkan selera musik dengan identitas seseorang. Orang yang suka indie sering dianggap artsy dan introvert, penikmat jazz dianggap mature dan classy, sementara pecinta metal atau punk sering diasosiasikan dengan pribadi yang ekspresif dan rebellious.

The Game’s Gone: It Should’ve Been About Football
The Beautiful GameFútbol, also known as the “Ballet of The Masses” as Dmitri Shostakovich addressed it. It is a game, a sport, an art full of passion and joy. A game created by the working class originally in England with the first records around 1302 AD, albeit the exact time still remains blurry. Although the information for earliest footballing dates still holds ambiguity, one thing for sure we know, that football was created by the working class and was made for everyone

Carut-Marut Kenaikan Pertamax 2026: Melindungi APBN atau Hanya Bikin Rakyat Temperamen?
Pemerintah Menaikan Harga Pertamax. Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi? Dengan senyap, warga Indonesia dikejutkan dengan naiknya harga bensin non-subsidi per tanggal 10 Juni 2026 silam. Mendadak, pegawai toko ritel harus mencabut beberapa harga produk, menggantinya dengan harga yang sudah disesuaikan. Tentunya bukan disesuaikan dengan kantong masyarakat, tapi dengan biaya transportasi yang dirasa mempersempit urat nadi. Ya, kenaikan harga BBM yang secara metafora setara dengan memut

A First House: Indonesia's Endless Marathon

Tombak Inovasi yang Tumpul
Pasar tenaga kerja Indonesia seakan-akan tak pernah luput dari diskursus. Belakangan ini, istilah “inflasi gelar” digaungkan di media sosial, fenomena di mana suplai lulusan perguruan tinggi melebihi permintaan lapangan kerja yang dibutuhkan perusahaan. Terlalu banyak lulusan yang dihasilkan oleh perguruan tinggi membuat valuasi ijazah S1 semakin menurun, kemudian perusahaan-perusahaan mempersulit rekrutmennya untuk mencari yang terbaik di antara yang terbaik.
