@gsuberland It's consolidation of knowledge, for those that can afford it. Call it greed, and on a base level I agree, but it's far more insidious than that.

@jbaggs I agree that there are probably people who are actively working towards a more separated class system with poor education for the poor, largely in the political sector, but the publishers themselves are largely just motivated by cash. When it comes to the likes of supreme court rulings your theory holds far more true.

@gsuberland Well, now we could get into a much longer discussion of what capitalism is for.

@jbaggs I guess the line I'd draw is on conscious and intentional subjugation vs. structural effects that are enabled by base greed.
