Jokowi, Rini and Sri Mulyani

In the first months of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo\'s administration, I wrote in this daily that his economic policies and views (“Jokowinomics”) will structurally push for an expansive fiscal policy.

Today, in an interpretative context, I have found the basic answer: Compared to previous presidents’ policies, Jokowinomics portrayed a dramatic shift in the politics of culture itself. The inclusion of the phrase “starting development from the periphery” in his campaign promise in 2013 clearly reflects this view.
