This study aims to reconstruct the concept of Economic Marhaenization and formulate the Economic Marhaenization Index (EMI) as a framework for evaluating the Prabowo administration's economic policies, grounded in the protection of grassroots production. Employing a qualitative-conceptual approach based on a literature review, the study analyzes regulations, government policies, Constitutional Court rulings, statistical data, and literature on people-centered economics. The findings indicate that Economic Marhaenization cannot be adequately measured solely by economic growth or social assistance; rather, it requires enhancing the people's position as active subjects of production. The IME is formulated across six dimensions: control over productive assets; production capacity and sovereignty; control over value-added; supply chain and market sovereignty; access to institutions, financing, and technology; and the democratization of economic decision-making. The Prabowo administration's policies hold the potential to drive Marhaenization by strengthening village economies, cooperatives, national production, supply chains, and downstream industrialization. However, success hinges on the ability to enhance asset control, production capacity, value-added, and the bargaining power of the people.
