This essay looks at theotakuphenomenon in terms of the production of consumption (what produces consumption, and what consumption produces) primarily three registers: fictions ofotakuthat stage the repression ofotakudesires and identities in order to form erogenous zones; cultural discourses that pathologizeotakuconsumption; and government policies related to Cool Japan that strive to reconfigureotakuconsumption in terms of markets and self-satisfying subjects. Considering these different registers brings into a focus a neoliberal socius or social being, which allows constant intervention into everyday life in the name of the fragility of the global free market by typologizing and pathologizing consumers.

This chapter reflects on the poetry of the palate, which it says is part of our palette of personal and cultural expressions. Tasting your favorite dish and hearing your favorite poem both have aesthetic qualities that make part of the poetry of everyday life. A language of tastes from immigrants' home countries is a marketable currency—and it adds not only flavors but also delicious words to our English vocabulary. Two books by Mark Kurlansky, Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World and Salt: A World History, make the case that the entire history of the world can be told through a single food. Foodways can provide a lens through which to explore geography and cultural history. In New York, world history, immigrant history, and shifting demographics create an ever-changing range of eateries and restaurants offering a panoply of tastes, often concocting new flavors by mixing ingredients.

The Government

Background: In the current era of globalization, the Indonesian government's problem today is the weakening of nationalism and patriotism among the millennial generation. The large number of foreign cultures that have entered Indonesia has caused a sense of nationalism and patriotism. In addition, Indonesia is also facing the problem of spreading the Covid-19 virus. During the pandemic, various policies set by the government received protests from some circles because they felt their freedom was restricted. Therefore, the awareness of millennial generation nationalism is needed, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic like today. This research aims to make millennials aware of nationalism sense, which mainly to prevent the spread of Covid-19. This research is used to answer the questions of what the problems that arise due to the waning of the spirit of nationalism during the pandemic are? and what efforts should be made to maintain the spirit of nationalism? Methods: This research is a qualitative study using the literature review method. The articles used are research published in 2019 to 2021 in Google Scholar, with keywords that match the topic of millennial generation nationalism in the Covid-19 pandemic. Results and Discussion: The results of the study found that the spirit of Indonesian nationalism during the Covid-19 pandemic was decreasing. The decline in the sense of nationalism is due to several government policies that impact the psychology of society and the Indonesian economy. As a result, society, particularly the millennial generation, must play a role in breaking the chain of the Covid-19 virus's propagation by following the government's health standards. Conclusion: The government and society need to work together to understand nationalism in the millennial generation, especially in dealing with problems caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on this, various efforts need to be made to foster the spirit of nationalism and overcome the Covid-19 pandemic. So that later, it can produce a generation that upholds the value of nationalism in everyday life.

The Impact

This chapter discusses the role of government policies in fostering, or inhibiting, foreign direct investment (FDI) by multinational companies in emerging nations. Using World Bank data on 149 emerging nations, the chapter examines the impact of government policies and institutions on the magnitude of inward FDI each country receives. Certainly, socioeconomic factors such as the size of the local market, human capital, and skills remain powerful determinants of FDI flows. But, ceteris paribus, the results show that the institutional environment does plays a substantial role in determining the magnitude of FDI inflows received by a nation. Globalization, measured by FDI as well as trade, data, and people flows, is cyclical. But all in all, globalization has seen a massive increase since the 1980s, when a sea change occurred in government policies toward international business. Formerly socialist and inward-oriented policies were almost universally replaced by a liberal free-market posture.

This paper shows that Block and Barnett (BnB) critique of Gross Out-put (GO) is wrong-headed and misguided, and is another sad example of why their limited version of Austrian economics is blocking the progress of the best that Austrian economics has to offer to the profession. I reject BnB’s assertion that GO is a «new threat to economic freedom» and «another government con.» To the contrary, the quarterly release of GO data has gone a long way to dispel falsehoods about the economy and government policies, while adding important information about how the economy works. It’s a triumph in supply- side Austrian economics, and should be celebrated by free-market economists everywhere. Keywords: Gross Output (GO), Austrian economics, structure of production, Hayek triangle, consumer spending. JEL Classification: B53, E23, E25. Resumen: Este trabajo muestra que la crítica de Block y Barnett (BnB) a la pro-ducción bruta (GO) es errónea y equivocada, y es otro triste ejemplo de por qué su versión limitada de la economía austriaca está bloqueando el progreso de lo mejor que la economía austriaca puede ofrecer a la profesión. Concretamente, este trabajo rechaza la afirmación de BnB de que GO es una «nueva amenaza a la libertad económica» y «otra estafa del gobierno». Por el contrario, la publicación trimestral de datos de GO ha recorrido un largo camino para disipar falsedades sobre la economía y las políticas gubernamen-tales, al tiempo que proporciona información sobre cómo funciona la econo-mía. GO representa un triunfo para la economía austriaca de la oferta, y debe ser celebrado por los economistas del mercado libre en cualquier parte. Palabras clave: Producto bruto (GO), economía austriaca, estructura de la pro-ducción, triángulo de Hayek, gasto del consumidor. Clasificación JEL: B53, E23, E25.

Plastic, particularly plastic bags, is an object that cannot be separated from everyday life. Plastic bags can be used as a wrapper and to transport luggage or groceries, among other things. The use of plastic bags is out of control as a result of the practice of giving them out for free. As a result, better management is required to limit the usage of plastic bags, one of which is the establishment of a paid plastic bag policy. The goal of this study was to see how FKM UMJ students' opinions influenced their use of paid plastic bags in 2021. In June 2021, a qualitative investigation was done as part of this research. In-depth interviews and document reviews were used to acquire data. Purposive sampling was used to choose students from the FKM UMJ Class of 2019 as informants for this investigation. Based on the research that has been done, it is found that the influence of the attitude of FKM UMJ students towards the use of paid plastic bags is positive and supports government policies regarding this matter. So it's time for us to take wise steps in using single-use plastic bags.

Livestock Development

<strong>English</strong><br />This paper discusses an idea on future livestock and how to bring the idea into reality.  The sources of the paper are taken from various livestock research results along with the overview of relevant economics theories.  Based on these sources, it is concluded that the future livestock could be designed and could also be materialized.  However, the government should not recklessly encourage the community to move forward and directly allocate the existing resources.  Instead, the government should allow the community to design future livestock by themselves through free market mechanims.  On the other hand, government policies should be directed to focus on servicess and draw positive responses to basic livestock problems to enhance market mechanisms.  Old paradigm saying that livestock business is a employment opportunity for the community should no longer used and should be changed to a new paradigm saying that livestock business has a function to encourage agroindustry development for a more open and widen employment and business opportunities. The implication of this idea is that the government is suggested to design a national livestock development roadmap with its details in livestock development region of each regencies.  This roadmap will be very helpful in program development preparation which also encourage the autonomous inter-regency cooperation.  <br /><br /><br /><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Tulisan ini merupakan sebuah gagasan tentang peternakan masa depan dan strategi mewujudkannya. Sumber bahan untuk penulisannya adalah hasil-hasil penelitian peternakan dan pandangan-pandangan teori ekonomi yang relevan. Dari review hasil penelitian serta teori ekonomi dan kebijakan pertanian dapat disimpulkan bahwa peternakan masa depan dapat saja didisain bagaimana ujudnya. Namun demikian, pemerintah tidak dapat begitu saja menggerakan masyarakat dan mengatur alokasi sumberdaya secara langsung. Atas dasar itu, pemerintah lebih baik menyerahkan pada masyarakat bagaimana peternakan masa depan itu melalui mekanisme pasar yang bebas. Pada sisi lain, kebijakan pemerintah sebaiknya fokus pada pelayanan dan membangun simpul-simpul permasalahan dasar peternakan saja sehingga mekanisme pasar dapat diaktifkan. Paradigma lama yang mengatakan bahwa usaha peternakan merupakan lapangan kerja masyarakat haruslah diganti dengan paradigma baru yakni peternakan haruslah berfungsi mendorong pembangunan dan perkembangan agroindustri sehingga terbuka luas kesempatan kerja dan usaha. Implikasi kebijakan dari gagasan ini adalah perlu dibuat roadmap pembangunan peternakan secara nasional dan diuraikan secara rinci di setiap kabupaten wilayah pengembangan ternak. Roadmap akan membantu mengarahkan penyusunan program-program pembangunan dan mendorong kerjasama antar daerah otonom.

ArgumentFollowing World War II, as macroeconomics and econometrics became a necessary tool for policy-making, economists worldwide rose in influence. Those economists in peripheral and new countries were especially important as they could wield the instruments essential in forming states. Israel was no exception. In Israel this process was associated with the establishment of the economics department at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and the Falk Project, led by Don Patinkin and the community of economists that he nurtured. This article poses three questions regarding Patinkin's influence and his role in the process of state formation. First, how did he affect economic policy discourse in Israel; second, what role did Patinkin and his students play in the process of state formation; and finally, what was the effect of Patinkin and his students on Israeli government policies? I argue that Patinkin had a specific and irreducible influence on the localization of pro-market ideas and policies in Israel, and that he and his students contributed to the consolidation of the state autonomy and capacity. Furthermore, I argue that they contributed to a more strict implementation of the recession policy in the mid-1960s.

The analysis of this research basically concerns issue of setting of developed country which is depicted through the sign systems found in the drama script “Nyayian Rimbayana”. Principally, the research is a descriptive qualitative research with Roland Barthes’s semiotics as the main tool to examine the data. The sign systems detected are interpreted in two orders of significations (language level and myth level).  Observed based on the myth of liberal capitalism, the setting of developed country illustrated through the sign systems are specifically in principles of modernity of infrastructure (infrastructure appearance); diversity of social class, capital force (social class); mercantilism, non-intervention of government, policies of encouragement, the disregard of domestic policies, and non-inward-looking development policies (leader role); and market force, free market system, openness of country’s economies, profit motive, private ownership property, and no legal limit on the accumulation of property (industrial prototype). Key words: Drama, semiotics, developed country, liberal capitalism.
