TEXTBOOKS

This story was in the WSJ. It struck my fancy because I never had textbooks in college. I was too poor. In those ancient days, they surely didn't cost $250 bucks. The article is along the point that, "here is an unexamined Econ lesson." 

It is a ripoff which lies at the feet of the profs themselves who require those books. Do you think for a minute that the profs pay this price. Of course not, they get complimentary copies, etc. It is an injustice and an awful lesson to teach to our students as they fold the price into their student loans. F..K. 

Don't we have a course in ethics in our universities. What never ceases to amaze me is that just because something is legal, doesn't necessarily mean it is ethical.
