Season 3 - Episode 2 - A Tale of Two Countries - pt. 1

<p>This is a two part episode. &nbsp;We will examine two countries. &nbsp;In this episode, we will look at Iceland - a country which is held up as the "gold standard." &nbsp;Iceland has a very high standard of living, very low corruption index, one of the most crime-free countries in the world and one of the safest place in which to invest money. &nbsp;Yet even in this "Shangri-La," a fraud and financial scandal in 2008 brought the country to economic collapse and destroyed banks that were long thought to be the safest in the world. &nbsp;Even in countries that have very transparent legal and political systems, human nature will always play out, including greed.</p> <p>Opening Music: penguinmusic-modern-chillout-12641</p> <p>Closing Music: Icelandic National Anthem (music only)</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gene-tausk/message
