I come from Argentina, a country that experienced economic collapse in 2001. I have to say that there might be some contributing external factors to these crises, but the main thing is how democracy reflects the state of a society, its priorities and idiosyncrasies, its systemic maladies. Sri Lanka clearly has a political class problem and there must be systemic corruption, even on a daily basis for the common person. If the common person cannot behave honourably, you can't expect the political class to do so- they are you. Pity that change comes from destruction and collapse.
