Worked well in Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka recently. Although better in the Holodomor. "In the wake of mass protests that forced President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to resign in July 2022, Sri Lanka’s interlocking economic and governance crises remain acute. Austerity measures, introduced in part to win financial support from the International Monetary Fund and foreign creditors, have brought additional economic hardship for many Sri Lankans .... already struggling with collapsing living standards."
