It follows from this that you are free to make broad generalisations about a countries political economy without backing up your argument with any real statistics or a wider contextualisation on the effects of these ‘neoliberal’ restructuring. Such generalisations ignore the difficulties a developing country faces and is ultimately reductionist and thus uninformative.

You say ‘Economic liberalisation relies on crises in order to thrive’, but the trends of both countries in recent decades err towards the opposite.
Take Sri Lanka, even before the tsunami a halt of neoliberal privatisations was underway, market orientated policies had been in effect since the late 70’s. In 2004 a left leaning coalition government was slowing them down. Post-tsunami the civil war that has plagued Sri Lanka for so long re-emerged again into conflict. Political instability on such a scale is unattractive even to the most bullish multinationals. Unstable regions can seriously damage your wealth and are an unattractive option for foreign investors. it’s also led to a reduction in foreign aid. The previous 30 years of non ’shock’ based liberalisations in the Sri Lankian economy fly in face of your conclusion. 1990 – 2000 saw growth from the liberalised economy skyrocket to a 5.3% average (with the odd setback from internal strife). The economy diversified and allowed the population to move away from merely farming. Their position on the Human Development Index continues to rise. Their distribution of wealth isn’t too bad either. Unemployment is low. Election after election saw pro-reform members elected to parliament with a mandate for such liberalisations, all this devoid of the shocks it supposedly requires. They didn’t need to be forced to integrate into the global economy, they were gunning for it full steam ahead. No build zones have little to do with disaster capitalism, it actually prevents it’s progress.

The Chinese government had to 146 billion USD rebuilding the Sichuan province after the earthquake, that’s hardly a profitable return no matter how lax building codes led to cheap construction. A lot of the damage was inflicted on government owned infrastructure and schools. It wasn’t neoliberalism that fueled the construction of poor quality schools, it was the corruption inherent in the one party state which has been endemic to the system since it’s ascent to power. They didn’t cut corners, they just squeezed the budget through embezzlement. The result of course was a tragedy. The astounding rise of China has yet to spread from the gold coast to the rural or central provinces, I’d be unsurprised if the unfortunate people rendered homeless lived in homes built before the 1976 building codes for earthquake protection were brought into force or if they even followed the regulations at all. As a side, the ‘neoliberal’ reforms didn’t even begin until 1978 when Deng Xiaoping instituted dual-track pricing and privatisation.

The only country i can think of that failed in every way with a neoliberal program would be Russia, and that was for a plethora of reasons not wholly related to foreign western imperialism.

With regards to foreign aid, it’s a sentiment i share. Disaster relief and internal development aid is extremely important but is often squandered instead of building the important and stable institutions needed to make globalisation work for everyone. It’s a problem endemic to NGO’s, rewarding big public works instead of grassroots assistance in the projects that would have the highest returns for the poorest in the world. Proper institutions matter, and without them the poorest countries will continue to flounder and can even be hurt with a liberalised economy; but what you labelled neoliberalism in the rest of your article is an entirely different motive, that of incompetence and corruption.
