Economic, social and political are three factors that interrelating each others. Descending one of those three factors will give impact to another factors, and the impact surely not good. The good economic condition absolutely will give positive impact to another factor in that country, this condition could applied for another factors.
Leader of the country have a big role to guarantee that those three factors be able to realize well. The role could be reflected to policy that released. The right policy can carry a positive impact to economic, social and political condition.
From those three factors, in my opinion, the most important is economic factor. With the growth of economic sector it will give positive impact due to social and political condition. It is because if a community have an ability to fulfill their own needs and has reached a wealth economic level, after fulfilling that point they can start to think about another things likes social and political problems without much effort.
The economic crisis could make political condition being unstable; this is what happened in several countries. In several countries such as Indonesia, an economic crisis can makes political situation being not conducive. It is liked what happened in 1998-1999, a high and uncontrolled inflation makes political condition at that time being chaos. The conditions affect hemming in the house of representative by peoples especially by universities student that insist the president at that time to hand over the presidency. The political situation that not conducive at that time, created a several riot that culminate in a vandal and burned an assets of several companies. The conditions liked that gave negative impact to the investors, such as they didn’t have any courageous to invest their money in Indonesia, it made economic condition in Indonesia being worse.
Economic condition had impacted the development of a community or country. With a good economic condition then the development in mental and physic will carried out and can avoiding an environmental destroyed along with eliminating slump area.
In developing an economic condition it needs to create a policy that suitable. Several things that can be doing are release the policy about bureaucracy and tax. Simple bureaucracy and low taxes are great things for investors. Simple bureaucracy system can eliminate risk level of corruption that did by bureaucrat. And low taxes can invite the investors to invest. But to guarantee the developing in that country, that low taxes can be add with duty to develop the area around in their work area, such as transportation, education, and duty to take care the environmental around them.
Applying a new policy surely is not easy. For example is simple bureaucracy, the corrupt bureaucrat absolutely doesn’t like it because they can’t do corruptions any more, and then they will try to cancelled that policy. At this situation, leadership ability is needed. Leadership ability can be showed by the integrity, consistency, and willing to hear other opinion.
