I often wish some non-profit foundation would get around to publishing open-source textbook e-books for use world-wide in education. Give the authors, usually current teachers and/or professors, tax deductions for their contributions in lieu of payment.
Whene I first went to college, back before the earth's crust had cooled, we used to be shocked at the $35 - $45 textbook prices. When I went back to law school a decade or more ago it was $125 - $200 a book. I don't even want to look at what it is now, but if there ever was a market that's site of reality, the textbook market seem to be it.
