| Summary: | -11- society consisting of cities without violence or slums, of productive farms and of education and opportunity for all of the country1s citizens? I have the impression that big countries like the United States have something to learn in this respect from the example of small countries like Iceland. Lacking the power for pretensions to global responsibility, a small country is left free, if it wishes, to concentrate its resources on the good government of its people. Some small countries of course prefer to squander their resources on small imperial ventures or on flashy weapons that they cannot afford and do not need; others, among whom Iceland is a notable example, have preferred to make their societies into models of prosperity and good government.
