FREEEEE read?!

[Inator]

I know there are various good books that help coping with our world, explaining the not-so-obvious social rules and the like.
But damn, I don't feel like spending money on something that should be part of my life. I feel like needing to pay for something extra other that people doesn't need, and I feel it's unfair.
I feel like forced to pay a better on-level life, and that sucks.
This is the internet. Is there anything good I could read, For Free? Thanks.

I'm thinking but I can't really come up with anything! Having a medical condition is expensive, you know?

I know, and I agree.
However, this is internet, and I don't think knowledges of any kind (such as this) should be closed-doors anymore =P

Well, pretty much everyone shares such sentiments at one time or another.

However the mathematical relationship between supply, demand and earnings is neither fair or unfair. The fewer the people who demand something, the more expensive it's likely to be. Even if it may involve inelastic demand.

With regards to the Internet, study the history (and demise) of Napster from 1999 to 2001. Which highlights that which appears to be given away at no charge doesn't negate its actual costs or royalties due to other parties.

Or to put it simply, "They're ain't no such thing as a free lunch". No matter what economic system you're talking about.

You could just go to the library and borrow a book for free. That's what it's for.
