I love this Iceland story as an example of the effectiveness of nationalization, especially because Libertarians online have for years held up some centuries-old Icelandic practice as proof that a modern "Libertopia" (excuse me while I vomit) would work. To see a country and its people really benefit from bank nationalization is a terrific refutation of that Libertarian pipe dream.
