Stop the textbook publisher oligopoly first

The idea of free schooling really confuses you amerimutts.

everything is food if your hungry enough

everything is food if you're obese enough

the concept of money and value really confuses you europoors

>Switzerland literally invented banking
>Britain created much of the market you make use of now
>Almost all European countries have a better Human Development Index than the USA
>Europeans are happier than Amerifats
>Lower rate of morbidity
>Higher longevity
Do I need to go on?

>papers

Maybe if scientists didn't need to pay publishers to put their papers behind paywalls, people wouldn't pirate them as much. Paywalls should be illegal for science papers.

In the USA, colleges are a way to farm money via tuitions (grants, scholarships, loans, and out of pocket). The basic scheme is similar to the seed & pesticide industry. The companies/colleges get the government and other companies to hand out money for hiked up services and goods. For books, they are at sky high prices. You purchase the books with your money then try to sell them back to the used book store and a massive discount. However, on many colleges you can't sell the books because the next year the books are obsolete and a new set are required. There's no one to buy them. Add to this, erroneous courses that are meaningless but suck up more money from the student. On top of that, you have prerequisite classes that have nothing to do with the student's major, that can't not be skipped.

where can i pirate books and papers Veeky Forums

If people have the option to get something for free with no consequence, they'll get it for free.

Google for threads in r/piracy.

Can confirm.
At a Technical Uni in Baden Württemberg, we get scripts from the teachers. Never required to buy any books(although i do to supplement the script material)

b-ok.org
Used to be bookz or something. So it might change again for legal reasons.

Always download textbooks from there. Not sure about papers.

>the state of modern america

Why are American textbooks so expensive? I've seen textbooks in other languages and they were all like 10-20 times cheaper than American edition. Do amerifats think they will learn better if they pay 400 and not 40 American pesos for a book?
