The indigenous population in Java, it is generally believed, remained by and large subsistence peasants under the colonial rule in the nineteenth century. It is argued that the Javanese could not participate in the estate plantation industry or 'transform their general pattern of already intensive farming in an extensive direction, for they lacked capital, had no way to shuck off excess labor'. Their access to waste land to became restricted and consequently they sought refuge in the wet-rice cultivation which 'soaked up almost the whole of the' population in a process of 'agricultural involution', which 'went on steadily' during the nineteenthcentury.' Thus Javanese were confined to the subsistence agriculture for their living because they had neither. capital nor opportunity to embark upon a path of economic development characterized by economic diversity
