     • Free competition aimed at maximizing profit.
     • Economic actors compete freely in the market.
3. Capitalism in Indonesia’s Economic Reality

     • Western Bloc: Capitalist Economic System.
     • Eastern Bloc: Socialist economic system.
   • Indonesia, though non-aligned, leans toward capitalism.
   • Indicators of capitalism in Indonesia:
     • Gradual removal of government subsidies, allowing market forces to set prices.
     • Floating exchange rate system for the rupiah as per IMF agreements.
     • Privatization of state-owned enterprises, reducing government ownership.
     • Active participation in WTO and GATT, signaling commitment to global economic liberalization.

5. Solutions to Overcome Capitalist Challenges
   • Emphasize understanding and implementation of Pancasila values by state administrators and economic actors.
   • Actualize the five principles of Pancasila in economic life:
     • First Principle: Belief in One God – ensures non-discrimination based on religion.
     • Third Principle: Indonesian Unity – promotes inclusive cooperation beyond national boundaries.
     • Fourth Principle: Democracy guided by deliberation and representation – commitment to democratic processes.
     • Fifth Principle: Social justice for all – eradication of poverty and discrimination.
   • The government and society must align economic practices with Pancasila to mitigate capitalism’s adverse effects.
6. Conclusion
   • Capitalism provides economic freedom but poses challenges to Indonesia’s ideological foundations.
