The People's Economy in the Digital Era: Between Value, Taxes, and Platforms
From Marketplaces to Digital Cooperatives—Who Defines the Future of the People’s Economy?
July 2025 edition goes beyond reviewing PMK-37/2025 as a new regulation—it marks a strategic shift: marketplaces are now officially appointed as tax collectors, while MSMEs and cooperatives are urged to adapt to a fiscal system that is increasingly digital, transparent, and integrated.
Yet fiscal transformation only becomes meaningful if it reaches those most vulnerable in the economic structure. Adaptation alone is not enough—it must be accompanied by a sense of justice. This is where the insights of Mrs. Halida Hatta become increasingly relevant: cooperatives, she asserts, are spaces for shaping social character, not merely business units. Meanwhile, Mr. Suroto emphasizes that cooperatives must serve as a counterbalance to algorithmic economies, not just supporting actors in markets dominated by data and capital.
Explore this edition’s in-depth analysis of how digital fiscal policy must be designed not just for efficiency, but for fairness.
Are we ready to embrace a truly sovereign future for the people’s economy?
