22 June 1928 – 1 February 2010) was an Icelandic politician who served as Prime Minister of Iceland from
1983 to 1987, and again from 1988 to 1991. Steingrímur's father was Hermann Jónasson, another
former Prime Minister. Being the son a prominent official, Steingrímur enjoyed
a relatively care-free upbringing in a country stricken by the Great Depression. As a young boy he had an exceptional
proximity to Iceland's World War II politics,
overhearing state affairs being discussed in his father's living room. Not
wanting to follow his father's footsteps into politics, Steingrímur went to the
U.S. in 1948. He received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering
from Illinois Institute of
Technology in 1951 and a master's degree from Caltech in 1952. After returning to his native country and
experiencing troubles both in his private life and business career, he
eventually entered politics in the 1960s. He was elected to the Althing (Icelandic Parliament) for the Progressive Party
in 1971. He became party chairman in 1979. Steingrímur served as Prime Minister
from 1983 to 1987 and again from 1988 to 1991. He also served for a time
as Minister of Justice, Ecclesiastical Affairs and Agriculture (1978–79), Minister of and Minister of
Foreign Affairs (1987–88). He was chairman of the Progressive Party from
1979 to 1994. After that he was governor of the Central Bank of Iceland until
his retirement in 1998.
