It's a small fishing villiage that got caught up in the housing bubble and convinced itself it could be a financial center. Now it has to face the day of reckoning.

But they are in a unique position to benefit, if they play their cards right. People talk about moving offices to Iceland and cutting deals with the Icelandic government for favorable tax treatment.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
