“Book Publishing Needs Socialism to Save It”

This is a super idea and is particularly relevant because newspaper publishing, CD makers and DVD makers are all also facing extinction today because of digital publishing and streaming. And just think, if socialism for buggy whips had been around at the turn of the 19th century, we’d still have plenty of buggy whip makers around even today. And don’t forget that power looms devastated the hand weaving industry even earlier. Linotype operators were thrown out of work, as were switchboard operators. Why the list is almost endless. And if we had JUST had socialism, we could have saved all of those industries and all of those jobs.

I enjoyed your post.
I wonder how much of this bloggers “touch of socialism” request is a reaction to Hillary’s book ending up in the bargain bin while conservative books soar. Gotta hide that disparity right?
