Abstract

This study investigates the economic dynamics of farmers and the role of middlemen within the agricultural system of Serdang Bedagai, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through unstructured in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis to explore the structural, economic, and institutional conditions shaping farmer livelihoods. The findings reveal that farmers experience multidimensional constraints, including dependency on middlemen for credit and market access, significant price asymmetry along the value chain, rising production costs due to limited access to subsidized inputs, unequal adoption of modern agricultural technologies, and persistent challenges in irrigation and local governance. These interconnected factors reinforce a cycle of vulnerability that limits farmers’ bargaining power and economic mobility. The study highlights that farmers’ dependency is not merely relational but structurally embedded within an environment of market failures and weak institutional support. The results contribute to agrarian political economy studies by demonstrating how market structure, infrastructure, and credit systems jointly reproduce dependency. Practically, the study offers insights for policymakers to strengthen agricultural infrastructure, expand access to formal credit, improve subsidy distribution, and promote inclusive technological transformation. The research concludes that comprehensive, multi-sectoral interventions are required to enhance farmer welfare and reduce structural dependency within rural agricultural systems

Abstract

The urgency to revisit the intellectual foundations of modern economics is growing amidst institutional instability, economic inequality, and the challenges of sustainable development, making Ibn Khaldun's thought relevant again as a comprehensive conceptual alternative. This article aims to analyze the contribution of Ibn Khaldun's economic thought to the modern economic model through a historical-sociological approach, by examining how the 14th-century social, political, and cultural context shaped his theoretical framework and assessing its relevance to contemporary economic theory and practice. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature study design, utilizing primary data from Al-Muqaddimah and secondary data from various academic studies, which are analyzed through data reduction, thematic categorization, and comparative interpretation techniques. The results show that Ibn Khaldun's concepts—such as 'asabiyyah, the work-based theory of value, market mechanisms, the role of the state, distributive justice, and the cycle of civilization—have strong correspondences with modern institutional economics, behavioral economics, and fiscal theory, including the Laffer curve principle and the institution-based growth model. These findings enrich the study of the history of economic thought and offer a more integrative analytical framework for understanding the relationship between social stability, institutional quality, and economic performance. The study's conclusions confirm that Ibn Khaldun's thoughts possess not only historical value but also practical relevance for developing equitable and sustainable economic policies. Further studies are recommended to empirically test the key variables in Ibn Khaldun's model using quantitative or mixed-method approaches to expand the validity and applicability of the findings.
