This presentation analyses the population of registered firms in late-colonial Indonesia that were owned and/or operated by ethnic Chinese businessmen. It addresses the long-established argument that these businessmen were not Schumpeterian entrepreneurs. The population of firms increased significantly from the 1890s to the 1920s, before many went out of business and a new generation of firms and entrepreneurs emerged. Most firms were privately owned, their shares were not traded on local stock exchanges. Most were incorporated in Java, particularly in the cities of Jakarta, Surabaya, Semarang and Bandung. By shareholder equity, the largest firms were those operated by Oei Tiong Ham in Semarang and Tjong A Fie in Medan and/or their family members. By 1910 most firms were active in trade, although this moniker takes insufficient account of the diverse business activities of individual firms. During 1910-1940 entrepreneurial interests diversified and the share of firms in other industries than trade increased. By average value of equity, these firms were small relative to other registered companies active in Indonesia. In the 1930s, the average real equity value of Chinese enterprises more than doubled, reflecting a diversification of entrepreneurship into more capital-intensive operations, particularly manufacturing. Particularly this significant diversification does not support the notion of a lack of entrepreneurship among ethnic Chinese businessmen in colonial Indonesia.

Bonus demografi: Sering diucapkan, perlu dipahami, belum tentu dipetik. Indonesia saat ini didominasi penduduk usia kerja yang berpotensi memberikan keuntungan ekonomi, yaitu Bonus Demografi, dengan keuntungan paling besar pada tahun 2040 yang disebut jendela peluang (window of opportunity). Buku ini memetakan kondisi demografi dan kependudukan Indonesia untuk upaya mencapai Masa Depan yang Kita Harapkan selagi masa bonus demografi dan jendela peluang terbuka, yang akan hilang begitu saja jika tidak dilaksanakan. Dikemas dengan bahasa yang semipopuler namun memuat substansi akademis yang dalam, pembaca buku ini dapat memperoleh wawasan tentang demografi dan kependudukan. Buku ini juga menggarisbawahi harapan bahwa kebijakan pemanfaatan bonus demografi mesti mengikuti tahapan kehidupan, dimulai sejak janin, usia dini, menuju remaja, dewasa dan berkeluarga, menjadi lansia yang aktif dan mandiri demi masa depan bangsa yang gemilang.
