Why does Iceland have a relatively strong economy considering the near lack of resources?

Planet Money is one of the podcasts worth listening to. Do like I do, and listen to them at work while doing boring stuff.

:smiley:

I thought Iceland’s economy was in the toilet! I heard that they lost faith in their currency…

That’s a great idea, except for the loud machinery and having to stop and talk to the customers all day.

No, really, while I defend the right of others to have their podcasts I really loathe having to sit and listen to someone else when I could get the same information so much faster if I could just read it.
