Textbook publishers are worse than Microsoft, with their planned-obsolete books that are replaced by a new edition each year. And the schools that put new editions of textbooks on their syllabi are complicit. Or even worse, they make it so that students can't buy used because the online components of the textbook can only be used by one student. And of course, the prices go up, while the quality stays the same, or goes down. It's awful. I suspect you’re right about step 3.
