Se repasa brevemente la historia y las finanzas islandesas de manera diacrónica. Se presenta a Islandia como bastión del estallido de la crisis financiera internacional que comienza a gestarse a principios del siglo XXI y cuyo origen se hace evidente en la fecha simbólica del año 2008. Se analizan las razones fundamentales de esta crisis, centrandonos en las particularidades de la estructura económica islandesa. Se consideran las diferencias y parecidos de esta situación en relación a algunos otros países en similares circunstancias. Se estudia el caso del banco Icesave. Se considera la repercusión que la crisis experimentada por Islandia tiene en el ámbito internacional, especialmente en los inversores extranjeros y en los conflictos jurídicos surgidos a raíz de las medidas adoptadas por el gobierno islandés para sacar al país de la bancarrota. -- Icelandic history and diachronically finances are briefly reviewed.

Aproximacion a los estudios sobre la economia en la Segunda Republica espanola hasta 1936 -- Approaches to the economics of the Spanish Second Republic prior to 1936

Macroeconomic data on the Spanish economy during the Second Republic is not accurate, the interpretation of historical events from the figures obtained is divergent and misleading. Hasty laws were enacted in attempts to resolve social problems arising mainly from deep economic inequalities, but they were often nothing more than declarations of good intentions. Spain suffered in the aftermath of the international economic downturn as it began to be felt at the end of the dictatorship of General Primo de Rivera. Economic policy was developed under the Constitution,but, despite the differences between the first and second biennium, there was a tendency to maintain the guidelines from the previous stage and in general, sometimes unfairly, it aimed at least to avoid the destabilization of the financial system. Nonetheless, it ultimately failed to achieve its goals, mainly because of the frequent changes of government mediated by a social crisis of greater significance that had relegated economic issues into the background.
