Here's a Sri Lankan giving an in-depth analysis about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpZ5oiUGqW4. I like this guy, think he's got good opinions.

I decided to hear him out and I completed the entire video. In short, he blames current crisis to mix of corrupt politicians, mismgmt. of foreign loans and predatory lending by West. He proposes SL to become more industrialized and integrate itself in Asia's monetary system rather than West.

This is very insightful well-balanced commentary, and counterpoint to simpler explanations like Rajapaksa's corruption, China's influence, or organic farming, as the primary cause.

This is not a very good take. His solution is for SL to join a China led block that somehow has India and China as allies?

I’m surprised he didn’t mention tourism in the video while mentioning foreign remittances as a source of forex.

agree he has an interesting take and makes some good points.
