Nope, I'm not in favor of agency pricing. But I understand that it was an imperfect response to a very real problem. Pretending there was no problem or hoping that a unicorn would come to save them wouldn't help the situation.
Of course, you don't see the problem because you are looking at the situation from a pure consumer point of view, but the publishers had to defend themselves from an Amazon monopoly, and agency pricing was their solution . I have not really seen a better solution advanced by anyone here.
