Translation of neoliberalism in German

So we decided to move on. We were looking to get the next flight to Hoi Ann, which is located right in the center of the country, but we were told that there had been floods a week earlier.
It is better to loose two dollars than a leg to some stupid crocodile. We moved on and the boat driver took us to a farm close to the floating village. There were all sorts of animals.
