My whole issue is the original post says, more or less, that more liberalism is always better and then dredges up examples like Maoist China and Argentina to say if you're going to say anything else you have to explain why those states weren't successful. Well, they had other challenges had nothing to do with how liberal or not their trade regimes were, is my answer. It's a little strange to me that everyone is so willing to consider (not incorrectly) that issue with Georgia but not with states that don't adhere to free-trade orthodoxy.
