Pancasila economics is an economic system which aims to reflect the five principles of Pancasila. The term "Pancasila economy" first appeared in an article by Emil Salim in 1967.
In essence, a Pancasila economy is a system that tries to avoid pendulum-like swings from one extreme (a free market economy) to the other (socialism). In simple terms, a "Pancasila economy" can be described as a market economic system with government control or a controlled market economy. A Pancasila economy can be considered an example of a mixed economy system or a third way of managing an economic system.
A Pancasila economy is seen as a counterbalance to a neoclassical approach promoting individualism and free markets that is adapted the values of Indonesian society, including religious values, culture, customs and norms.
