Iceland has been praised in foreign media for its quick recovery after the economic collapse of 2008. Perceptions are different, foreign media and economists like Paul Krugman look to Iceland as an example. However, in Iceland the current government is very unpopular and trust in politics is at an all time low. At the same time culture seems to flourish in Iceland.
