Why is the neoliberal (Friedman/Hayek, Chicago School) economic model such an abyssmal failure other than for the already very rich?

Slave Labor in 3rd world nations
Since many third world and developing countries rely heavily on what is essentially slave labor, how can we hold best limit the ability of this type of unfair labor practice without hurting the economies of those countries which allow this to occur by rebranding slavery as something else when it is still slavery?
