I don't have a firm understanding of neoliberalism to have an opinion on it yet, but my first impression is that Neoliberalism is to Sri Lanka what Socialism is to Venezuela.
The point I was trying to make with that analogy was that when people want to denigrate Socialism they say, "look at Venezuela." So after reading your piece here on neoliberalism and Sri Lanka, I would say the same thing in response.
An old story about neoliberal policies and a continuing story about Sri Lanka with more detail than is in the international press.

I think you missed the point of what I was trying to say lol. And yeah I read that before.
It's a nebulous term, but I thought that my piece would give a sense of what people mean regarding "neoliberal" policies.
As for V'zla, I guess that I could do a piece on it, but it's not an urgent topic for me, though I've contacted people about it before.

I don't think that's the real problem.
I’m happy to publish a correction if anything in the piece is unreasonable—let me know if you find any issues.
No correction needed. Everything that led me to that conclusion is in your article.
