Iceland's Financial Crisis

This edited volume offers the most wide-ranging treatment of the Icelandic financial crisis and its political, economic, social, and constitutional consequences. Interdisciplinary, with contributions from historians, economists, sociologists, legal scholars, political scientists and philosophers, it also compares and contrasts the Icelandic experience with other national and global crises. While the Icelandic economic recovery has been much quicker than expected; it shows that public faith in political elites has not been restored.
