Fable of the bees

Their Kings were serv'd; but Knavishly
Cheated by their own Ministry;
Many, that for their Welfare slaved,
Robbing the very Crown they saved:
Pensions were small, and they lived high,
Yet boasted of their Honesty.
-Bernard Mandeville

Nina and I were at Boijmans Museum last year discussing about the poem on the wall which was part of an installation. It was a very old poem titled 'Fable of the Bees: or, Private Vices, Publick Benefits' by a Rotterdammer physician/philosopher/political economist, Bernard Mandeville. He wrote it in 1714 as a political satire of England at the time, in which he concluded: vice as a necessary condition for economic prosperity.

Do you see any parallel between modern day Indonesia and Mandeville's 18th century England?
