The standard electrodynamics textbook from jackson for example has been out for ~50 years and still costs about 100$, even though just about all costs have been recovered until now (and the publisher just has to pay for actual production).
Although I have some pdf copies of it I still value the advantages of having the “real book” so I bought the chinese-international edition om amazon.cn for 25$ – 10$ for the book and 15$ for shipping…
I guess this shows how we are ripped off!

It is actually quite practical to artificially induce people to prioritize the allocation of resources better. What is evil is to place the power of controlling the money supply to international banksters, who hide behind phony “federal” or “national” banks, and force governments to borrow money from them (at interest!) instead of allowing elected governments to control the money supply themselves. This evil is mathematically flawed and it will only cause misery in the world unless an organized mob brings these false gods down to where they belong: eternal hell!
