Social Capital

Social capital is the goodwill generated by people's ability to work together for common purposes. It has the potential to be a catalyst for action, empowerment and inspiration. It can influence peoples' capacity to thrive, and is a powerful factor in determining career and life success. Social capital cannot be held by an individual, as its very existence is stimulated by human interaction.

The effects of social capital flow from the information, influence, and solidarity that such goodwill generates.

It can also be used to describe the personal relationships within a company, that help build a culture of trust and respect among employees, leading to enhanced company performance and wellbeing.
Jenny didn't say, "I'll do this for you because you are more powerful than me". Nor did she say "I'll do x for you now, if you do y for me now".
Jenny built her social capital by saying, "I'll do this for you now, knowing that somewhere down the road, you will do something for me"

Capitalism with Indonesian Characteristics

The unofficial de-facto economic system of Indonesia that punishes foreign businesses and companies that create jobs, and employment opportunities for Indonesians, and contribute substantial tax revenue to the government and by extension, the country's standard of living for doing certain things that offend the delicate sensibilities of the Indonesian people in areas wholly unrelated to the quality of the goods and services delivered by these companies.

i.e., releasing an advertisement that certain people believe looks similar to a conflict happening the middle east that may or may not actually be depicting said conflict, or a franchisee of a fast food chain completely separate from the franchisee in Indonesia donating free meals to the military of a middle eastern country in a conflict.
Makcik: Eh, Abang! You heard that McDonalds is giving free meals to the IDF? How dare they support GENOCIDE??! I think they forgot that under Capitalism with Indonesian Characteristics we can boycott their brands and cause thousands of Indonesians to lose their jobs, investments and lower our standard of living yet still believe we are doing shit to help Palestinians!!

Abang: Hahaha come on lets teach Ronald McDonald the imperialist what we Indonesians are made of!! Indonesia Boleh!!
