In recent days, the political crisis in Sri Lanka has reached a critical point, with its president fleeing the country and protesters occupying his residence and office. Today, “The Daily” explores how the island nation, whose economy was once held up as a success story in South Asia, came apart — and why it’s a cautionary tale.
Guest: Emily Schmall (https://www.nytimes.com/by/emily-schmall), a South Asia correspondent for The New York Times.
