A range of esteemed contributors explore developments in the United States where the crisis of

since 2008. Currently many countries are facing similar problems as Iceland did in 2008: this

in Iceland and why the recovery of that economy was strong and swift. The chapters in this
book originate from panel discussions and conferences and explore areas including regulation
state projects and inflation.
