Singapore’s economy is also significantly planned, despite the opposite being the common knowledge.

Same with South Korea.

I was kind of shocked to find this out too. For instance:

"As of 2020, 78.7% of Singapore residents live in public housing, down from a high of 88.0% in 2000."

Also Singapore has 17% corporate tax, compared with 12.5% in Ireland.

Yeah, that only strengthens my argument that neoliberalism has failed.
