According to him, Indonesia must learn from Italy because this country has a different character between Northern Italy and Southern Italy.
In this case, Northern Italy experiences higher progress and prosperity because its citizens have a very strong civic tradition in society and have many life associations, while Southern Italy experiences a “deficit” of social capital, social relations, democratic culture and a spirit of difficult solidarity. Decentralization is increasing and shows a trend towards social distrust.
“Their well-being tends to be lower than that of Northern Italy. This means that social capital is directly proportional to the level of economic prosperity. People with a prosperous mentality will certainly be lazy to protest or provoke riots” , did he declare.
