Iceland's polycentric enforcement system lasted for approx 290 years. We only recently had our bicentenial in the US and are arguably not the same goverment that was formed in 1787 anyway. For a good History book to learn about Iceland and it's contributions see "Viking Age Iceland" by Jesse Byock. Ben PS My high school history teachers told me antitrust was passed to limit the power of the evil robber barons and god knows how many lies about FDR or the Civil War. I hardly see it as relevant that you didn't learn about Iceland in school. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
