I feel like this is akin to one of those Stanford psychology experiments, but in political science/cultural development, i.e. what happens when you bomb a country back to the stone age (interregnum post-Qiang dynasty, then WWII), but then juice up the economy in 2-3 decades but without the "normal" cultural/political/ethical development, and in a complete effectively laissez-faire libertarian-but-also-authoritarian-with-a-lot-of-bribes environment
