Doug: "Why do you think the bourgeoisie wants to make it expensive?"

[WS:] Because the price tag is the message, i.e. a product being bought. The fashion industry operates on the same principle - if one is buying a Prada garment, one is buying a Prada price tag, not a utilitarian product. If one wants an utilitarian product, one shops at Target. Likewise, if one goes to college to acquire knowledge rather than a credential, one go to community college.
