What’s with those prices? Is that normal?
30 Dollars for 322 pages (paperback version) doesn't strike me as excessively expensive? Or maybe that's because I'm biased myself due to my academic background ;)
The hardcover version is quite expensive indeed, but I guess that's targeting libraries that have bigger budgets...

It's cheaper than the Softwar Master Thesis book that Amazon is recommending when I click your link. As a side note, I would be much more willing to read Resistance Money than Softwar which sounds more like a wishful-thinking SF book than anything rooted in proper research :)
Interestingly, if I recall well, the author of that Softwar got asked to stop selling it on Amazon as he was basically making money off something his university, and thus public money, had paid for.

Yea I agree $30 isn’t expensive. I meant the disparity between versions

I mostly meant the disparity between versions - kindle, paperback, and hardcover. But I can the academic textbook angle for hardcover.

Andrew has confirmed the hard cover price is 💯 for “normie academic” libraries 🤙🏽
