@Legit_Spaghetti@mastodo.neoliber.al bloody hell "Whereas scientific norms at the time viewed scientific publishing as a public good that should not be subject to profit motives, Maxwell understood that scientific publishing was a market unlike others because there was an almost ceaseless growth of demand, and free labour. Scientists would pressure their institutional libraries to secure access to any serious journal publishing work relevant to their own" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pergamon_Press
