How has small Iceland been able to play such a big role in the world? The confluence of geology, fish and rugged explorers seems to have infused Icelanders with their durable, modest, optimistic and confident character and produced an outsized number of achievers.
However, that cool Icelandic confidence backfired when Icelandic bankers in the early 2000’s financial crash brought shock and shame. But not for long: Iceland is leading the way again, this time with the highest rate of women working full time.
Author Egill Bjarnason in “How Iceland Changed the World: The Big History of a Small Island” views his home island with combination of the wry humor of Bill Bryson, the pointed observations of Anthony Bourdain and the meanderings of a mildly befuddled history professor.
