s/technocracy/jacobinism/ , maybe(?)

Centralization and a bureaucracy applying a decision upon a large territory is a good recipe for disaster if the decision is a bad one.

Any "overnight flip to" anything is often a bad decision.

Moreover the real cause is an economic crisis centered on a foreign exchange deficit: http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2021/07/sri-lanka-manufactur...
