This book presents a detailed account of Iceland's recovery from
the tumultuous banking collapse that overturned its financial
industry in 2008. Early chapters recount how Iceland's central bank
was unable to follow the quantitative easing policies of the time
to print money and save the banks, while serving the worlds
smallest currency area. The book goes on to explore how the
government exercised force majeure rights to implement emergency
legislation aimed at preventing the "socialization of losses".
Later chapters investigate how, eight years later, these policies
have yielded renewed growth and reinvigorated liquidity streams for
the financial system. The authors argue that Iceland, long-called
the 'canary in the coal mine' of the developed world, offers
important lessons for the future. This book will be useful to all
readers interested in better understanding the unique history of
Iceland's banking crisis and the phenomena of its recovery.
