ANALYSIS
Iceland went thru real economic Hell...after its 2008 bank and currency crash.
So...a fast recovery for the small economy was predicted by many.
Though it is growing at 2%...faster than most EU nations...inflation is high...and it's currency and capital controls...have become straight jackets.
One politician compares its currency...the krona/crown...down 17% since August...to the Disneyland dollar.
Icelanders now complain bitterly about economic stagnation.
Many voters are tired of austerity...and may replace the austerity minded ruling conservatives...with leftists...or even extreme rightists...in April.
