History suggests that the pre-colonial Indonesian ruling class, particularly that of Java, knew how to take care of its well-being vis-à-vis the potential competition of a “bourgeoisie” rather better than its feudal counterparts in Europe. The rulers themselves, to begin with, took up trading. They also deliberately prevented other social classes from this activity. Historians continually quote one Javanese prince’s remark that “if the natives had more than the necessaries of life, they would use the surplus [gained from trading] to do some harm to their rulers”
