I'll take independent capitalists over the mega-corp press any day. There
will never be a time when publishers are all non-capitalist and/or
pro-socialist, unless there is a profound shift in human consciousness and
behavior that totally rearranges the landscape. Better a small pub selling
the views of, say, Rothbard (or your beloved MR), than a
synergistic-multiheaded machine pounding us with the lifestyles of the rich
and photogenic.
