mantan pemimpin sudah ada , dan calon pemimpin pembawa 'revivalism' kepada kopeasi juga sudah ada cuman saya susah bilangnya ke milis ini karena nanti dikira sektarian. Berikut ada artikel dari New York Times tahun 1951 bagaimana Indonesia dulu banget gencar sekali dengan program Koperasi. Mungkin bisa diduga-duga kenapa terus koperasi kendor setelah Hatta resigned :-) :-) ====================================== http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F70715FF3B591B7B93C2A8178BD95F458585F9&oref=login New York Times, Published Oct 10, 1951 Cooperatives Gain in New Indonesia Fast-Growing Movement Held Important in Combating Red Moves to Disrupt Economy JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. 9-- A fast-growing cooperative movement is becoming increasingly important in Indonesia's efforts to obtain social stability and improve living conditions. The cooperatives are viewed as a significant factor in countering communist moves to disrupt economy and foment strige and popular discontent. The Government is utilizing Economic Cooperation Administration aid to help develop cooperatives. WHile E.C.A. counterparts funds will go to establish a system of cooperative banks, other E.C.A. funds will finance study and trips by 24 Indonesian cooperative officials to USA and other countries. Meanwhile, a US expert is working here to hep the movement expand. Indonesia cooperatives are flourishing mostly in rural areas. At present day they are devoted mainly to providing credit for farmers and small traders. The grip of money lenders who charge rates up to 500 percent a year is bein broken in many villages. Four thousand cooveratives with roughly a million members now are functioning. The rate of growth is indicated by the fact that 3,000 have come into existence since Indonesia gained independence less than two years ago. Credit groups have build a total capital to the equivalent of more than $3,000,000 of which only a fraction has come from the government. In the last year, the Government has setup 19 schools to train cooperative organizer. 2000 students residing in primitive dormitories have gone through a month of thorough courses. So tough is the training that one third of the students have flunked. The movement's leader are planning on 1,000,000 more members in the next year or two and will extend the schools to train 6,000 additional entrants. Six government-appointed aides will leave Friday to study cooperatives in USA. Among them are two men who will become heads of the cooperative bank system. The creator of Indonesia cooperative movement is vice President MOHAMMED HATTA who started the enterprise many years ago on patterns that he had studied in Denmark and other European countries. Most of the countries cooperatives were wiped out during the Japaneese war but their revival and expansion has become a major Government endeavor. The traditional communal character of Indonesia rural society lends itself to modern cooperatives. The movement appeals to the Indonesian as a way of escaping the toils of the Chinese money lenders and middlemen who control most of the lending of small capital.
