Without intending to start a debate: we see something similar occurring in Venezuela due to a choice to focus on oil production a few years (decade?) back instead balancing food and oil production.

There may well be something to institutional economics and the notion of a holon.

That's the resource curse at play. I do want to believe that Sri Lanka was just a tiny bit more diversified than Venezuela.
