[Irtalk] Academic publishers make Murdoch look like a socialist | George Monbiot | Comment is free | The Guardian

[Hilton Gibson]

Who are the most ruthless capitalists in the western world? Whose
monopolistic practices make Walmart look like a corner shop and Rupert
Murdoch a socialist? You won't guess the answer in a month of Sundays. While
there are plenty of candidates, my vote goes not to the banks, the oil
companies or the health insurers, but – wait for it – to academic
publishers.
