Population and the Environment
We can better understand the population problem by taking a look at the effects that over population is having on our world. Population growth has significant environmental consequences that lead to resource shortages for the world’s population. These include less land for farming and grain production, deforestation and water shortages. In the future, farmers must increase production in order to keep up with the food demands of the growing population. They must, however, attempt this as land availability decreases, creating a demand for chemical agriculture and genetically modified crops. In addition, fresh water supplies are decreasing. The amount of water available per person will drop by 74% between 1950 and 2050. The February 2008 edition of Rick Management Magazine said 1.7 billion people today live in places with periodic water shortages; they estimated that this number will increase to 5 billion by the year 2025. We can already see the effects of water scarcity today in the frequent droughts experienced around the globe. By making the curbing of population growth a priority, we can ensure that we are able to keep up with the world’s food and water demands.
Environmental Threats
The expansion of human activity and associated loss of habitat are the leading causes of the unprecedented extinctions of plant and animal species worldwide. The loss of biological diversity leads to instability of ecological systems, particularly those that are stressed by climate change or by invasion of non-native species. Learn how PMC’s program in Rwanda is helping to preserve the habitat of the endangered mountain gorilla.
Massive rural to urban migration in much of the developing world has overwhelmed water treatment systems, resulting in water pollution that leads to intolerable health conditions for many people.
Despite this migration, rural populations are also growing, leading to overuse of land and resultant erosion of hillsides and silting of rivers, as typified by Madagascar, Rwanda, Nepal and Haiti.
The same pressures are hastening the destruction of vast forest areas and loss of wildlife habitat. The loss of forests also reduces the ability of the ecosystem to combat global warming. Carbon dioxide that would be absorbed by trees instead stays in the atmosphere.
On a global basis, emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, are rising rather than falling, despite the international agreements designed to reduce emissions. Given this trend, many scientists believe that global warming will accelerate during this century, with consequences including rising sea levels, growing weather severity, and disruption of agriculture.
Greenhouse gas emissions are increasing in developing countries where populations are expanding most rapidly. In some of these countries, energy consumption and production of greenhouse gases are rising on a per capita basis as the countries’ economies expand. In most of these countries, there is an understandable desire to increase living standards by increasing production and per capita consumption of energy and resources. Median projections of expanding economic activity in developing countries indicate that the developing world will be producing more greenhouse gases than the developed countries by the year 2020. At the same time, the developed countries are generally failing to make progress on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, in part because of continuing population increases, especially in the United States.
Given the trends in population, energy and resource consumption, combined with technological innovations, the adverse human impact on the global ecosystem could triple or quadruple by the year 2050.

The target and direction of Industrial and trade development for the last year of the sixth Five year plan Development and for the Seventh Five Year Development are basically still relevant to be implemented. Even though the challenges are different due to the recent position of national economic growth and unpredictable condition.
During the period of the Development Reform Cabinet, considerable targets have been achieved in Industry and Trade sector. In order to increase export, the government has expanded the scope of commodities that are given particular Export companies (PET) facilities.
Policies in foreign trade field is directed to increase export value and foreign exchange receipt diversity types of commodities, strong competitiveness, expand market access, promote non-oil and gas commodities, and settle export problems.
Import policies are directed to control goods imported, for production and consumption needs, state security, and environment. The import policies are among others in forms of import restriction, import trading procedures consisting of permits, import executive appointment, and quota: import duty tariffs, overcoming unfair trade, practices such as violation of anti Dumping and countervailing Duty.
To improve Small and medium-Scale Industries (IKM) a critical period, the government has allocated rolling fund assistance for handicraft industries and agricultural industries, which have exported potential, and their supporting business. In the frame work of facing market globalization and strengthening competitiveness of small industries products, the government will implement ISO-9000 quality management absorption program, including small industry producing export commodities, component making (sub contracting) industry, types of industry that will and have applied SNI national standard, and Industrial companies experienced in applying group Quality Control (GKM).
REGULATIONS
By the legalizing Act Number 5 of 1999 on prohibition of Monopoly Practices and Unfair Competition on 5th March 1998 that will take effect one year after being sanctioned, the industrial competitiveness in the country has become healthy.
The creation of Act on Prohibition of Monopoly Practices and Unfair competition is intended to give contribution to the efforts of improving natural economy efficiency, which in turn will increase social welfare.
The legalization of Act Number 8 of 1999 on consumers Protection by the President of the Republic of Indonesia on 20th April 1999 that will take place in April 2000, in this reform era, is expected to be able to give freedom to consumers in enjoying a product and simultaneously to build business actors in selling their quality product as well as to protect consumers.
Two consumer protection agencies were born from this act, namely the national Consumer Protection Board (BPKN) domiciled in the Capital City and Consumer Dispute Settlement Board (BPSK) in the second-Level District territory. Both agencies members consist of representative of business actors, consumers, academicians and non-government consumer institutes, beside those of the government. The number of companies registered based on the Act on Company Registration Obligation from July is 1,376,426 companies.
The issuance of a series of policies free import trading and distribution of sugar arrangement and farmers obligation to grow sugar cane and sell their harvest to BULOG (National Logistic Agency). Thus Sugar trading is handed over to market mechanism, and General Importers (IUS) can carry out import with 0% import duty. To assist farmers in overcoming loss due to decrease in sugar prices in domestic markets, the government has decided that farmers sugar should be brought by Sugar Factories and the Sugar Factories have to buy farmers Sugar in 90% cash and the balance should be paid form of kind.
Import trading arrangement of automotive Industries which was formerly arranged IU,TT/AT and subject to a very high percentage of import duty, has been reviewed and is planned to be altered to automotive import simplification by eliminating tariff barrier.
Data of Indonesia's Trade First Quarter 2001
Total Export: US$ 14.8 Billion
Oil and gas: US$ 3.7 Billion
Non-Oil and gas US$ 11.1 Billion
Total Import: US$ 9 billion
Oil and Gas US$ 0,8 billion
Non-Oil and Gas US$ 8,1 billion
AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
The Indonesian automobile sector is bracing for a Chinese invasion. In only two years, Chinese-made motorcycles have captured 25 percent of the Indonesian market at the expense of the long dominant, domestically-manufactured Japanese brands. With recent GOI approval, 700 Chinese-made Chang'an and Wuling cars will soon hit Indonesian roads. With supplemental shipments, the industry predicts that the Chinese automobiles could capture 12 percent of the yearly 315,000 unit market by the end of 2001. The Rp 43 million to Rp 45 million (USD 3,945 to USD 4,130) price per car is a fraction of the price of comparable Japanese and European imports and less than half the retail price of Korean imports, which have captured the bulk of the market for imported vehicles. The Chinese cars are subject to an additional 75 percent luxury tax and 40 to 75 percent import tariff (depending on engine size). (Kia and other domestically assembled foreign cars are exempt from the import tariff.)
The Chinese cars, nevertheless, are entering the market at a time when sales are lagging. Based on first quarter returns, the Association of Indonesian Automotive Industries (GAKINDO) announced that car sales are likely to drop 15 percent in 2001 due to higher prices as a result of the slumping rupiah and lower economic growth. Automobile manufacturers also warned of decreased sales due to large hikes in the luxury tax. Minister of Industry and Trade Luhut Pandjaitan said that the GOI is aiming for Rp 330 billion (USD 28.9 million) in additional tax revenue from the auto industry.
CHANGING EXPORT FORECAST
Several key Indonesian sectors have adjusted their 2001 end-of-year predictions in light of first quarter returns, rising fuel prices, weakening rupiah exchange rate, and uncertainties in the international market. Traditionally strong sectors such as plywood, textiles, and footwear are predicting disappointing 2001 returns. More interestingly, emerging industries like auto parts and electronics have augmented their forecasts to reflect increasing global competitiveness and a strengthening consumer market in Indonesia. Sector organizations predicting 2001 returns include:
1.the National Textile Business Forum announced that textile exports are expected to fall 20 percent;
2.the Association of Indonesian Plywood Producers predicted a 12 percent decline in plywood exports;
3.the Indonesian Furniture and Handicraft Industries Association announced that the sector might not be able to reach its USD 1.8 billion sales goal.
4.the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued a statement retracting the previously predicted 10 percent increase for wood product exports;
5.the Association of Indonesian Footwear Producers predicted a 10 percent decline in shoe exports;
6.Electronic Marketer Sales Club reported a 60 percent increase in sales of electronic products during the first quarter of 2001. This included a 78 percent increase in television sales, 37 percent rise in refrigerator sales, 79 percent climb in air conditioner sales, and 45 percent increase washing machine sales. The growth in sales occurred in spite of a new 10 to 30 percent luxury tax;
7.the Indonesian Automotive Parts and Components Industries Association predicted a 22 percent increase in auto part exports;

TOEFL

Test of English as a Foreign Language, or TOEFL, evaluates the ability of an individual to use and understand English in an academic setting. It sometimes is an admission requirement for non-native English speakers at many English-speaking colleges and universities. Additionally, institutions such as government agencies, licensing bodies, businesses, or scholarship programs may require this test. A TOEFL score is valid for two years and then will no longer be officially reported since a candidate's language proficiency could have significantly changed since the date of the test. Colleges and universities usually consider only the most recent TOEFL score. The TOEFL test is a registered trademark of Educational Testing Service (ETS) and is administered worldwide. The test was first administered in 1964 and has since been taken by more than 23 million students. The test was originally developed at the Center for Applied Linguistics under the direction of Stanford University applied linguistics professor Dr. Charles A. Ferguson.
Policies governing the TOEFL program are formulated with advice from a 16-member board. Board members are affiliated with undergraduate and graduate schools, 2-year institutions and public or private agencies with an interest in international education. Other members are specialists in the field of English as a foreign or second language. The TOEFL Committee of Examiners is composed of 12 specialists in linguistics, language testing, teaching or research. Its main responsibility is to advise on TOEFL test content. The committee helps ensure the test is a valid measure of English language proficiency reflecting current trends and methodologies.
Since its introduction in late 2005, the Internet-based Test (iBT) has progressively replaced both the computer-based tests (CBT) and paper-based tests (PBT), although paper-based testing is still used in select areas. The iBT has been introduced in phases, with the United States, Canada, France, Germany, and Italy in 2005 and the rest of the world in 2006, with test centers added regularly. The CBT was discontinued in September 2006 and these scores are no longer valid. Although initially, the demand for test seats was higher than availability, and candidates had to wait for months, it is now possible to take the test within one to four weeks in most countries.[3] The four-hour test consists of four sections, each measuring one of the basic language skills (while some tasks require integrating multiple skills) and all tasks focus on language used in an academic, higher-education environment. Note-taking is allowed during the iBT. The test cannot be taken more than once a week.

1.Reading
The Reading section consists of 3–5 passages, each approximately 700 words in length and questions about the passages. The passages are on academic topics; they are the kind of material that might be found in an undergraduate university textbook. Passages require understanding of rhetorical functions such as cause-effect, compare-contrast and argumentation. Students answer questions about main ideas, details, inferences, essential information, sentence insertion, vocabulary, rhetorical purpose and overall ideas. New types of questions in the iBT require filling out tables or completing summaries. Prior knowledge of the subject under discussion is not necessary to come to the correct answer.

2.Listening
The Listening section consists of six passages 3–5 minutes in length and questions about the passages. These passages include two student conversations and four academic lectures or discussions. A conversation involves two speakers, a student and either a professor or a campus service provider. A lecture is a self-contained portion of an academic lecture, which may involve student participation and does not assume specialized background knowledge in the subject area. Each conversation and lecture stimulus is heard only once. Test-takers may take notes while they listen and they may refer to their notes when they answer the questions. Each conversation is associated with five questions and each lecture with six. The questions are meant to measure the ability to understand main ideas, important details, implications, relationships between ideas, organization of information, speaker purpose and speaker attitude.

3.Speaking
The Speaking section consists of six tasks: two independent tasks and four integrated tasks. In the two independent tasks, test-takers answer opinion questions on familiar topics. They are evaluated on their ability to speak spontaneously and convey their ideas clearly and coherently. In two of the integrated tasks, test-takers read a short passage, listen to an academic course lecture or a conversation about campus life and answer a question by combining appropriate information from the text and the talk. In the two remaining integrated tasks, test-takers listen to an academic course lecture or a conversation about campus life and then respond to a question about what they heard. In the integrated tasks, test-takers are evaluated on their ability to appropriately synthesize and effectively convey information from the reading and listening material. Test-takers may take notes as they read and listen and may use their notes to help prepare their responses. Test-takers are given a short preparation time before they have to begin speaking.






4.Writing
The Writing section measures a test taker's ability to write in an academic setting and consists of two tasks: one integrated task and one independent task. In the integrated task, test-takers read a passage on an academic topic and then listen to a speaker discuss the same topic. The test-taker will then write a summary about the important points in the listening passage and explain how these relate to the key points of the reading passage. In the independent task, test-takers must write an essay that states, explains, and supports their opinion on an issue, supporting their opinions or choices, rather than simply listing personal preferences or choices.

One of the sections of the test will include extra, uncounted material. Educational Testing Service includes extra material in order to pilot test questions for future test forms. When test-takers are given a longer section, they should give equal effort to all of the questions because they do not know which question will count and which will be considered extra. For example, if there are four reading passages instead of three, then three of those passages will count and one of the passages will not be counted. Any of the four passages could be the uncounted one.
In areas where the internet-based test is not available, a paper-based test (PBT) is given. Test takers must register in advance either online or by using the registration form provided in the Supplemental Paper TOEFL Bulletin. They should register in advance of the given deadlines to ensure a place because the test centers have limited seating and may fill up early. Tests are administered on fixed dates 6 times each year. The test is 3 hours long and all test sections can be taken on the same day. Students can take the test as many times as they wish. However, colleges and universities usually consider only the most recent score.
1.Listening (30 – 40 minutes)
The Listening section consists of 3 parts. The first one contains 30 questions about short conversations. The second part has 8 questions about longer conversations. The last part asks 12 questions about lectures or talks.
2.Structure and Written Expression (25 minutes)
The Structure and Written Expression section has 15 exercises of completing sentences correctly and 25 exercises of identifying errors.
3.Reading Comprehension (55 minutes)
The Reading Comprehension section has 50 questions about reading passages.
4.Writing (30 minutes)
The Writing section is one essay with 250–300 words in average.

Dalam kaitannya dengan keterlibatan sosial, tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan berkaitan langsung penciptaan atau perbaikan kondisi sosial ekonomi yang semakin sejahtera dan merata. Ini berkaitan dengan apa yang akan dibahas sebagai keadilan distributif, ketaatan terhadap hukum, khususnya hukum bisnis.
o Tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan mempunyai kaitan yg erat dengan penegakan keadilan dalam masyarakat umumnya dan bisnis khususnya.
o Tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan berkaitan langsung dengan perbaikan kondisi sosial ekonomi yang semakin sejahtera dan merata.
o Perlakukan yang sama terhadap semua orang sesuai dengan hukum yang berlaku.
o Pembangunan nasional kita bertujuan mewujudkan masyarakat adil dan makmur. Dalam kenyataannya masih sering terjadi berbagai gejolak.
o Masalah keadilan berkaitan secara timbal balik dengan kegiatan bisnis, khususnya bisnis yang baik dan etis. Terwujudnya keadilan masyarakat, akan melahirkan kondisi yang baik dan kondusif bagi kelangsungan bisnis. Praktik bisnis yang baik, etis, dan adil akan mewujudkan keadilan dalam masyarakat. Sebaliknya ketidakadilan yang merajalela akan menimbulkan gejolak sosial yang meresahkan para pelaku bisnis.
o Persoalannya adalah apa yang disebut keadilan ? Apa yang dimaksud drngan adil ?

RUANG LINGKUP
1. PAHAM TRADISIONAL DALAM BISNIS
a. Keadilan Legal
Menyangkut hubungan antara individu atau kelompok masyarakat dengan negara. Intinya adalah semua orang atau kelompok masyarakat diperlakukan secara sama oleh negara di hadapan hukum.
Dasar moral :
1. Semua orang adalah manusia yang mempunyai harkat dan martabat yang sama dan harus diperlakukan secara sama.
2. Semua orang adalah warga negara yang sama status dan kedudukannya, bahkan sama kewajiban sipilnya, sehingga harus diperlakukan sama sesuai dengan hukum yang berlaku.
Konsekuensi legal :
 Semua orang harus secara sama dilindungi hukum, dalam hal ini oleh negara.
 Tidak ada orang yg akan diperlakukan secara istimewa oleh hukum atau negara.
 Negara tidak boleh mengeluarkan produk hukum untuk kepentingan kelompok tertentu.
 Semua warga harus tunduk dan taat kepada hukum yang berlaku.

b. Keadilan Komutatif
1. Mengatur hubungan yg adil atau fair antara orang yang satu dengan yang lain atau warga negara satu dengan warga negara lainnya.
2. Menuntut agar dalam interaksi sosial antara warga satu dengan yang lainnya tidak boleh ada pihak yang dirugikan hak dan kepentingannya.
3. Jika diterapkan dalam bisnis, berarti relasi bisnis dagang harus terjalin dalam hubungan yang setara dan seimbang antara pihak yang satu dengan lainnya.
4. Dalam bisnis, keadilan komutatif disebut sebagai keadilan tukar. Dengan kata lain keadilan komutatif menyangkut pertukaran yang fair antara pihak-pihak yg terlibat.
5. Keadilan ini menuntut agar baik biaya maupun pendapatan sama-sama dipikul secara seimbang.
c. Keadilan Distributif
1. Keadilan distributif (keadilan ekonomi) adalah distribusi ekonomi yang merata atau yang dianggap merata bagi semua warga negara. Menyangkut pembagian kekayaan ekonomi atau hasil-hasil pembangunan.
2. Persoalannya apa yang menjadi dasar pembagian yang adil itu? Sejauh mana pembagian itu dianggap adil?
3. Dalam sistem aristokrasi, pembagian itu adil kalau kaum ningrat mendapat lebih banyak, sementara para budaknya sedikit.
4. Menurut Aristoteles, distribusi ekonomi didasarkan pada prestasi dan peran masing-masing orang dlm mengejar tujuan bersama seluruh warga negara.
5. Dalam dunia bisnis, setiap karyawan harus digaji sesuai dengan prestasi, tugas, dan tanggungjawab yang diberikan kepadanya.
6. Keadilan distributif juga berkaitan dengan prinsip perlakuan yang sama sesuai dengan aturan dan ketentuan dalam perusahaan yang juga adil dan baik.
2. KEADILAN INDIVIDUAL DAN STRUKTURAL
o Keadilan dan upaya menegakkan keadilan menyangkut aspek lebih luas berupa penciptaan sistem yang mendukung terwujudnya keadilan tersebut.
o Prinsip keadilan legal berupa perlakuan yang sama terhadap setiap orang bukan lagi soal orang per orang, melainkan menyangkut sistem dan struktur sosial politik secara keseluruhan.
o Untuk bisa menegakkan keadilan legal, dibutuhkan sistem sosial politik yang memang mewadahi dan memberi tempat bagi tegaknya keadilan legal tersebut, termasuk dalam bidang bisnis.
o Dalam bisnis, pimpinan perusahaan manapun yang melakukan diskriminasi tanpa dasar yang bisa dipertanggungjawabkan secara legal dan moral harus ditindak demi menegakkan sebuah sistem organisasi perusahaan yang memang menganggap serius prinsip perlakuan yang sama, fair atau adil ini.
o Dalam bidang bisnis dan ekonomi, mensyaratkan suatu pemerintahan yang juga adil: pemerintah yang tunduk dan taat pada aturan keadilan dan bertindak berdasarkan aturan keadilan itu.
o Yg dibutuhkan adalah apakah sistem sosial politik berfungsi sedemikian rupa hingga memungkinkan distribusi ekonomi bisa berjalan baik untuk mencapai suatu situasi sosial dan ekonomi yang bisa dianggap cukup adil.
o Pemerintah mempunyai peran penting dalam hal menciptakan sistem sosial politik yang kondusif, dan juga tekadnya untuk menegakkan keadilan. Termasuk di dalamnya keterbukaan dan kesediaan untuk dikritik, diprotes, dan digugat bila melakukan pelanggaran keadilan. Tanpa itu ketidakadilan akan merajalela dalam masyarakat.

3. TEORI KEADILAN ADAM SMITH
1.Adam Smith hanya menerima satu konsep keadilan yaitu keadilan komutatif.
Alasannya:
1. Keadilan sesungguhnya hanya punya satu arti, yaitu keadilan komutatif yg menyangkut kesetaraan, keseimbangan, keharmonisan hubungan antara satu orang dengan orang lain. Ketidakadilan berarti pincangnya hubungan antarmanusia karena kesetaraan yang terganggu.
2. Keadilan legal sudah terkandung dalam keadilan komutatif, karena keadilan legal hanya konsekuensi lebih lanjut dari prinsip keadilan komutatif. Demi menegakkan keadilan komutatif, negara harus bersikap netral dan memperlakukan semua pihak secara sama tanpa terkecuali.
3. Juga menolak keadilan distributif, karena apa yg disebut keadilan selalu menyangkut hak: semua orang tidak boleh dirugikan haknya. Keadilan distributif justru tidak berkaitan dengan hak. Orang miskin tidak punya hak untuk menuntut dari orang kaya untuk membagi kekayaannya kepada mereka. Orang miskin hanya bisa meminta, tidak bisa menuntutnya sebagai sebuah hak. Orang kaya tidak bisa dipaksa untuk memperbaiki keadaan sosial ekonomi orang miskin.
2. Prinsip No Harm
 Yaitu prinsip tidak merugikan orang lain, khususnya tidak merugikan hak dan kepentingan orang lain.
 Prinsip ini menuntuk agar dalam interaksi sosial apapun setiap orang harus menahan dirinya untuk tidak sampai merugikan hak dan kepentingan orang lain, sebagaimana ia sendiri tidak mau agar hak dan kepentingannya dirugikan oleh siapapun.
 Dalam bisnis, tidak boleh ada pihak yang dirugikan hak dan kepentingannya, entah sebagai konsumen, pemasok, penyalur, karyawan, investor, maupun masyarakat luas.
3. Prinsip Non-Intervention
 Yaitu prinsip tidak ikut campur tangan. Prinsip ini menuntut agar demi jaminan dan penghargaan atas hak dan kepentingan setiap orang, tidak seorangpun diperkenankan untuk ikut campur tangan dlm kehidupan dan kegiatan orang lain
 Campur tangan dalam bentuk apapun akan merupakan pelanggaran terhadap hak orang yang merupakan suatu harm (kerugian) dan itu berarti telah terjadi ketidakadilan.
 Dalam hubungan antara pemerintah dan rakyat, pemerintah tidak diperkenankan ikut campur tangan dalam kehidupan pribadi setiap warga negara tanpa alasan yang dapat diterima, dan campur tangan pemerintah akan dianggap sebagai pelanggaran keadilan.
 Dalam bidang ekonomi, campur tangan pemerintah dalam urusan bisnis setiap warga negara tanpa alasan yang sah akan dianggap sebagai tindakah tidak adil dan merupakan pelanggran atas hak individu tersebut, khususnya hak atas kebebasan.
4.Prinsip Keadilan Tukar
 Atau prinsip pertukaran dagang yang fair, terutama terwujud dan terungkap dalam mekanisme harga pasar.
 Merupakan penerapan lebih lanjut dari no harm secara khusus dalam pertukaran dagang antara satu pihak dengan pihal lain dalam pasar.
 Adam Smith membedakan antara harga alamiah dan harga pasar atau harga aktual. Harga alamiah adalah harga yg mencerminkan biaya produksi yang telah dikeluarkan oleh produsen, yang terdiri dari tiga komponen yaitu biaya buruh, keuntungan pemilik modal, dan sewa. Harga pasar atau harga aktual adalah harga yang aktual ditawarkan dan dibayar dalam transaksi dagang di dalam pasar.
 Kalau suatu barang dijual dan dibeli pada tingkat harga alamiah, itu berarti barang tersebut dijual dan dibeli pada tingkat harga yang adil. Pada tingkat harga itu baik produsen maupun konsumen sama-sama untung. Harga alamiah mengungkapkan kedudukan yang setara dan seimbang antara produsen dan konsumen karena apa yang dikeluarkan masing-masing dapat kembali (produsen: dalam bentuk harga yng diterimanya, konsumen: dalam bentuk barang yang diperolehnya), maka keadilan nilai tukar benar-benar terjadi.
 Dalam jangka panjang, melalui mekanisme pasar yang kompetitif, harga pasar akan berfluktuasi sedemikian rupa di sekitar harga alamiah sehinga akan melahirkan sebuah titik ekuilibrium yang menggambarkan kesetaraan posisi produsen dan konsumen.
 Dalam pasar bebas yang kompetitif, semakin langka barang dan jasa yang ditawarkan dan sebaliknya semakin banyak permintaan, harga akan semakin naik. Pada titik ini produsen akan lebih diuntungkan sementara konsumen lebih dirugikan. Namun karena harga naik, semakin banyak produsen yang tertarik untuk masuk ke bidang industri tersebut, yang menyebabkan penawaran berlimpah dengan akibat harga menurun. Maka konsumen menjadi diuntungkan sementara produsen dirugikan.
 Dengan demikian selanjutnya harga akan berfluktuasi sesuai dengan mekanisme pasar yang terbuka dan kompetitif. Karena itu dalam pasar yang terbuka dan kompetitif, fluktuasi harga akan menghasilkan titik ekuilibrium sebuah titik di mana sejumlah barang yang akan dibeli oleh konsumen sama dengan jumlah yang ingin dijual oleh produsen, dan harga tertinggi yang ingin dibayar konsumen sama dengan harga terrendah yang ingin ditawarkan produsen. Titik ekuilibrium inilah yang menurut Adam Smith mengungkapkan keadilan komutatif dalam transaksi bisnis.
4. TEORI KEADILAN DISTRIBUTIF JOHN RAWLS
Pasar memberi kebebasan dan peluang yang sama bagi semua pelaku ekonomi. Kebebasan adalah nilai dan salah satu hak asasi paling penting yang dimiliki oleh manusia, dan ini dijamin oleh sistem ekonomi pasar. Pasar memberi peluang bagi penentuan diri manusia sebagai makhluk yang bebas. Ekonomi pasar menjamin kebebasan yang sama dan kesempatan yang fair.
Prinsip-prinsip Keadilan Distributif Rawls
Meliputi:
1. Prinsip Kebebasan yang sama.
Setiap orang harus mempunyai hak yang sama atas sistem kebebasan dasar yang sama yang paling luas sesuai dengan sistem kebebasan serupa bagi semua. Keadilan menuntut agar semua orang diakui, dihargai, dan dijamin haknya atas kebebasan secara sama.
2. Prinsip Perbedaan (Difference Principle).
Bahwa ketidaksamaan sosial dan ekonomi harus diatur sedemikian rupa sehinga ketidaksamaan tsb:
a. Menguntungkan mereka yang paling kurang beruntung, dan
b. Sesuai dengan tugas dan kedudukan yang terbuka bagi semua di bawah kondisi persamaan kesempatan yang sama.
c. Jalan keluar utama untuk memecahkan ketidakadilan distribusi ekonomi oleh pasar adalah dengan mengatur sistem dan struktur sosial agar terutama menguntungkan kelompok yang tidak beruntung.

Kritik atas Teori Rawls:
Bahwa Prinsip Perbedaan, berakibat menimbulkan ketidakadilan baru.
o Pertama, prinsip tersebut membenarkan ketidakadilan, karena dengan prinsip tersebut pemerintah dibenarkan untuk melanggar dan merampas hak pihak untuk diberikan kepada pihak lain.
o Kedua, yang lebih tidak adil lagi adalah bahwa kekayaan kelompok yang diambil pemerintah tadi juga diberikan kepada kelompok yang menjadi tidak beruntung atau miskin karena kesalahannya sendiri. Prinsip Perbedaan justru memperlakukan secara tidak adil mereka yang dengan gigih, tekun, disiplin, dan kerja keras telah berhasil mengubah nasib hidupnya terlepas dari bakat dan kemampuannya yang mungkin pas-pasan.

5. JALAN KELUAR ATAS MASALAH KETIMPANGAN EKONOMI
o Terlepas dari kritik-kritik terhadap teori Rawls, kita akui bahwa Rawls mempunyai pemecahan yang cukup menarik dan mendasar atas ketimpangan ekonomi. Dengan memperhatikan secara serius kelemahan-kelemahan yang dilontarkan, kita dapat mengajukan jalan keluar tertentu yang sebenarnya merupakan perpaduan teori Adam Smith yang menekankan pada pasar, dan juga teori Rawls yang menekankan kenyataan perbedaan bahkan ketimpangan ekonomi yang dihasilkan oleh pasar.
o Harus kita akui bahwa pasar adalah sistem ekonomi terbaik hingga sekarang, karena dari kacamata Adam Smith maupun Rawls, pasar menjamin kebebasan berusaha secara optimal bagi semua orang. Karena itu kebebasan berusaha dan kebebasan dalam segala aspek kehidupan harus diberi tempat pertama.
o Negara dituntut untuk mengambil langkah dan kebijaksanaan khusus tertentu yang secara khusus dimaksudkan untuk membantu memperbaiki keadaan sosial dan ekonomi kelompok yang secara obyektif tidak beruntung bukan karena kesalahan mereka sendiri.
Dengan mengandalkan kombinasi mekanisme pasar dan kebijaksanaan selektif pemerintah yang khusus ditujukan untuk membantu kelompok yang secara obyektif tidak mampu memanfaatkan peluang pasar secara maksimal. Dalam hal ini penentuan kelompok yang mendapat perlakuan istimewa harus dilakukan secara transparan dan terbuka. Langkah dan kebijaksanaan ini mencakup pengaturan sistem melalui pranata politik dan legal, sebagaimana diusulkan oleh Rawls, tetapi harus tetap selektif sekaligus berlaku umum. Jalan keluar ini sama sekali tidak bertentangan dengan sistem ekonomi pasar karena sistem ekonomi pasar sesungguhnya mengakomodasi kemungkinan itu.
