Perhaps you missed the sentence after the one you quoted, where I said that there was plenty of capitalism to go around in Iceland. What I meant by it being "socialist" was the emphasis on a welfare state, as I put in parentheses--we all pay a goodly part of our taxes into a nationalized system of education and health care. Also, I don't know if this applies to your question or not, but all workers in Iceland are required to be members of their respective unions. This applies even to higher-skilled workers. They are not "in control," but the unions have more power and representation here than I have ever seen in the US.
