After four years as Agence France-Presse correspondent in Indonesia, Brian May became convinced that the nation's social & economic progress was being blocked, perhaps permanently, by a strong cultural barrier. Although he details Western-aided despotism, with its thousands of political prisoners, its murders, and its general acts of repression, he does not consider the suffering of the people to be the main 'tragedy' of Indonesia. For him it lies in the ruling Junta's blind attempt to force a Western economic model on a backward and superstitious people, whose culture and psychology are unsuited to it.
An overview of the cultural impediments to Indonesia's economic progress. In depth coverage of the Sukarno era.
