With Oil Money, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Who Loves to Read Might Make a Dent in Textbook Publishing

If Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez loves books so much, then he can do something that could help millions of students worldwide. With the oil money that keeps pouring into his country, he can help students get cheap books by supporting and/or creating a publishing company that will work with textbook teachers and publishers to lower the price. Would this not qualify as wishful thinking? Well, it could be. It may be that the president ends up reading this blog someday. One of his adherents may see it and forward a copy to him. Besides promising cheap heating oil to poor US neighborhoods, he can show his love of books by making textbooks available to millions of students and parents who just can not afford them.
