How Iceland got its groove back

Icelandic constitutional council is drafting clauses and sharing them on its web site and Facebook page for public comment. It is wonderful to see the progressive steps that Iceland is taking to course-correct after their economic collapse. I spent a few days in Reykjavik in January and there seemed to be a spirit of hope and possibility among the Icelandic people.
