New Iceland. The Art of Losing Yourself. By Guðmundur Magnússon.
In the last fifteen years or so, the international free market has taken hold in Iceland, with its advantages and disadvantages. The hustle and bustle that has characterized these years is reminiscent in many ways of how older generations broke out of poverty and the stagnation of society in the early decades of the last century. Could it be that the changes of recent years have become faster than society can handle? In the excitement of the market, it seems that empathy, which is so important for the functioning of society, has been forgotten. (Bókatíðindi 2008).
