It worked in postwar Japan and postwar Germany and neither country had a track record up to that point. It's a cultural affect I think. Some cultures and societies can look at their own shortcomings and failures and learn from them and move onward. Others never will. Postwar South Korea took longer as did Spain and Portugal - after long periods of military rule. But they adapted.
