We talk to historian Þorleif Friðriksson about a time of great change, from colonialism to the Industrial Revolution. The period was defined by great changes and conflicts between new and changed classes. The nobility gave way to the bourgeoisie and people flocked from the countryside to the city. From this began the labor struggle as we know it today. Þorleif is the author of two books about the history of Dagsbrún, now called Efling, and is working on the third and final volume of this work. Let's get acquainted with the history of modern times with Þorleif, at Samstöðinn at 5:00 PM.
