I think you're reading 'more order' as 'more [bureaucratic] orders.' an unregulated environment is great for experimenting and starting things, but order is important for maintaining what has already been built and providing the long-term stability that makes business predictable and thus worth investing in. Otherwise, as your enterprise becomes profitable it begins to incur ever-higher security costs, quickly resulting in a situation of diminishing returns.
This is why you don't see very much inward investment in places like Russia, Somalia and so on. The barriers to entry are very low for anyone with capital and an idea, but the barriers to exit are very high. Consider the case of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Khodorkovsky
