Fascinating, thank you! I had heard something about Johanna Sigurdardottir in passing, but hadn't made the connection between "first openly gay head of state elected" and Iceland and its current collapse. (Which, while Sen was talking about health care, is maybe another facet of "A crisis [...] provides an opportunity to address long-term problems when people are willing to reconsider established conventions.")
The Sen article is full of good-sense-making, too, and I'm obviously very interested in the health care policy changes that will hopefully happen in the next 5-10 years. We are in a tangled, nasty mess there, and I wish I had a better sense of the big picture and the possible solutions.
