Unlike his father, Prabowo Subianto is running Indonesia's economy recklessly and without fiscal discipline.

On many occasions, President Prabowo has stated that his economic worldview was profoundly shaped by the ideas of his father, the late Sumitro.

Prabowo's programs are considered as contradicting many of the ideas championed by Sumitro Djojohadikusumo. The state's role is excessive.
