“A country that has been let down by its financial institutions might like to think of bankers, and central bankers, as co-conspirators in murder, rather than, say, as heedless incompetents who used to play high-school soccer in Reykjavik with one’s father. A country overwhelmed by evil has more dignity than one tripped up by fools.”
– Ian Parker, Letter from Reykjavik, The New Yorker
