How Academics Are Pushing Back on the Academic Publishing *Mafia.
Cartel?
Just don’t call it a business, that makes it seem way less shady than it is.
I think Cartel and Mafia both have their merits when talking about the for-profit publishing industry.
I would call them “leeches”. I see them like landlords. Charging you money for something basically no labour has to be done to support.
It’s reentierism.
School and college bookz has been a scam for decades
In schools corruption is done via government contracting
In college, professors put their name on the book and then force everyone buy it.
Parasites all around us.
