Kami mengundang teman-teman semua untuk <BR/>menghadiri acara peluncuran buku<BR/>Ciao Italia!: Catatan Petualangan Empat Musim<BR/>pada tanggal 17 Juni 2008, pukul 2 siang yang bertempat di <BR/>Institut Kebudayaan Italia:<BR/>Jl. HOS Cokroaminoto 117, Menteng-Jakarta Pusat<BR/>(depan Izzi Pizza Menteng)<BR/><BR/>Pembicara:<BR/>- Gama Harjono (Penulis Ciao Italia!)<BR/>- Pembicara tamu <BR/><BR/>Acara akan diisi dengan bedah buku dan presentasi mahasiswa<BR/>Indonesia tentang pengalaman selama kuliah di Italia.<BR/><BR/><BR/>NB: Dapatkan penawaran khusus pada saat launching, diskon 20%, bagi yang berminat<BR/>mendapatkan buku Ciao ITALIA!<BR/><BR/><BR/> <BR/>*** *** ***<BR/><BR/> <BR/>Ciao Italia: Catatan Petualangan Empat Musim<BR/>Penulis: Gama Harjono<BR/>Penerbit: Gagasmedia, 2008<BR/><BR/>Apakah berkeliling Eropa salah satu impianmu? Atau bersekolah di luar negeri dan bergaul dengan teman-teman baru yang selalu haus petualangan? Buku ini mengajakmu untuk melewati ruang-ruang kelas universitas di Italia, galeri seni ternama, sampai pesta-pesta mahasiswa Eropa yang seru.<BR/><BR/>"Ciao Italia" akan membawamu menikmati tempat-tempat di pelosok Mediterania, mulai dari kota metropolis berusia lebih dari dua milenium hingga desa terpencil yang menyimpan banyak harta karun seni dan kejutan tak terduga (buktikan dengan foto-fotonya yang fantastis). Plus tip backpacking ekonomis: mendapat akomodasi gratis di Eropa, mencari tiket, hostel dan makanan murah selama perjalanan.<BR/><BR/>Setiap kisah dan suka-duka saat berusaha mengenal Italia, ditoreh dengan sebuah kejujuran dari seseorang yang akhirnya terlalu mencintai negeri Pasta ini.CIAO ITALIA!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11070915576209551083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5897197.post-48162348241986926952007-11-22T08:38:00.000+07:002007-11-22T08:38:00.000+07:00Anon (2.35):There are a lot of other spaces in Kom...<B>Anon (2.35):</B><BR/>There are a lot of other spaces in <I>Kompas</I> where "economic commentators" can comment.

Given that serious economics is given such a small space, I was desperately hoping that it will be filled by people trained in the discipline.<BR/><BR/><B>Anon (8:19):</B><BR/>Agree we need more Krugman (more precisely, a pre-NYT-columnist Krugman) or MCB.

As a public newspaper, KOMPAS should need more economist like Krugman or MCB who can translate complex and rigourous economic analyses into a prose in which layman can digest it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5897197.post-16970609192475674352007-11-20T21:38:00.000+07:002007-11-20T21:38:00.000+07:00That's a good idea, mas Arya.

When a person like Rhenald Kasali was allowed to write <I>Kompas's</I> "Economic Analysis" section, something has truly gone amiss.<BR/><BR/>That aside, I think it would be nice if <I>Kompas</I> has a everyday-(micro-)econ section. Then, Aco (and his Cafe Salemba colleagues) should well be recruited as regular columnists. ;-)Arya Gaduhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330590627984700100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5897197.post-6675460829887551102007-11-05T14:23:00.000+07:002007-11-05T14:23:00.000+07:00Kompas may need a (external) referee who has exper...Kompas may need a (external) referee who has expertise or capacity to judge the submitted articles before they get publication...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5897197.post-67465187843888130782007-11-03T17:15:00.000+07:002007-11-03T17:15:00.000+07:00Gianie, thanks!

One would be because gasoline is still highly subsidized, so the incentive to develop (un-)subsidized alternative is very low.Acohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16457844915547531461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5897197.post-30395473938455767132007-11-02T17:35:00.000+07:002007-11-02T17:35:00.000+07:00Udin aka John, yes I remember you.

I am a regular visitor for your another blog (diskusi ekonomi). Very good indeed and beneficial.<BR/>Oke, I just inform that I have a senior colleague at Bappenas who had developed oil policy briliantly. He is Hanan Nugroho (I think you know well who he is). He has no personal website, but you can get his articles about oil policy from google. I give links to his papers at my blog (muhyiddinblog.blogspot.com).<BR/>Sadly, so far, there is no place for his brilliant recommendation. Bureaucracy makes him marginalized.Udynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618956054428496190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5897197.post-22191906990837223262007-10-31T10:18:00.000+07:002007-10-31T10:18:00.000+07:00My solution?

Calm down, develop alternative energy sources, remove oil market distortions including the subsidy on gasoline and kerosene, encourage good public transportation, make private driving more expensive, invite more competition to Pertamina, and so on.<BR/><BR/>I am a <I>Kompas</I> hater? God, no. I love that newspaper. I've been its loyal subscriber and reader for more than 20 years! If there's a contest or trivia on <I>Kompas</I> history, count me in. If I were a hater, why do I keep reading it? In fact, it even comes before my breakfast. I don't read newspapers other than <I>Kompas</I> and <I>Jakarta Post</I>.<BR/><BR/>Why do I not write there in <I>Kompas</I>? Well, I'm not a good writer, I guess. My 'specialization' is to criticize the newspaper I love. For example, it hurts me to find that my beloved <I>Kompas</I> print a trash, ridiculous article like that. And oh, I don't really care with other newspapers.<BR/><BR/>Hope that explains :-) (I once had a friendly discussion at Litbang <I>Kompas</I>, and I said the same thing).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting, Sir.Acohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16457844915547531461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5897197.post-29316125669969684492007-10-31T09:53:00.000+07:002007-10-31T09:53:00.000+07:00So, Dr. Patunru, what is the best solution that ca...So, Dr. Patunru, what is the best solution that can you offer to anticipate the next crisis? At least in the view of Indonesia's interest. Could you show the application of design mechanism theoretically in solving the oil led crisis that might be happened real soon? <BR/>Oh, as the visitor of this blog, we notice that you are notoriously known as KOMPAS protester, what is the underlying reason why you are so hate with KOMPAS articles. Why don't you do like your companion MCB write in KOMPAS instead of become eternal protester?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
