I don't know if an island with a population of 84,000 that already has had an outstanding standard of living before this concept was a thing, is a good example of why it works.

The island has a shrinking and aging population. Young people don't stay there because there is little opportunity. In recent years, the flight of young people and working class looking for opportunities elsewhere has been one of their biggest social issues. The other major one is increasing the age of retirement because of their decreasing workforce and pressure on the pension system.

It might be a good example of a place where trickle down economics can exist and be contained with minimal harm, but I don't think it has been that great either. It's easy to claim zero poverty when the poor are forced to move away due to economic pressures.
