by ProPublica

As part of our investigation into the reality of
redistricting, we've created, yes, a music video. For
more on the shenanigans we detail in the video, see our
Devil's Dictionary. For more on the secret money
influencing redistricting, see our investigation, The

Lessons from Iceland's Economic Crisis

[As some readers pointed out, the article we distributed
yesterday (Why Iceland Should Be in the News But Is Not)

http://grapevine.is/Features/ReadArticle/A-Deconstruction-of-Icelands-Ongoing-Revolution
Here is a commentary by economist and Nobel laureate
Joseph Stiglitz on Iceland. -- moderator] 

As the first country to experience the full force of the
global economic crisis, Iceland is now held up as an
example by some of how to overcome deep economic
dislocation without undoing the social fabric. Professor
Stiglitz discusses lessons learned. Uploaded by imf.
