An interesting analysis of the textbook market from the Planet Money podcast. It's worth listening all the way to the end for a brief discussion of why new editions come out so frequently - and whether they will continue to.

An episode of the Planet Money podcast relating to textbook costs and the second-hand market. Every summer, there's a surplus of textbooks, and every fall, there's a spike in demand. That's an opportunity for someone with a storage locker to make money. Getting your textbook orders in early helps fix that flaw in the market...

Louis Schmier's latest asks about the true mission of higher education. "Students are asked in word and action, especially at revealing career days and job fairs and Career Services Office, "what do you want to do," and seldom, if ever, "who do you want to become."" It's intriguing to think about resume-building credentialism not only as a pressure from outside, but also the easy way out compared to the real goals of liberal education.
