Iceland is Leading the Way
The country of Iceland made international headlines after the leftist coalition captured power in the general election. Now even I will acknowledge that Iceland is a petty entity in the abroad international community, with a population of just over 300,000 and a global appreciation that stems from a hockey movie staring Emilio Estevez. However, historically, this is a drastic turn of events in Iceland, considering that the right-wing party had previously controlled parliament for 70 years. Maybe this tiny Island is a microcosm of what is to come internationally in the near future; the rejection of unregulated free-markets for more socially responsible governments.
