Du hast mich. Du hast mich gekauft, ich werde bezahlt. Ja, so he told his deputy director at Pergamon, we don't compete on sales, we compete on authors, right? So this is a talent-driven business and that's what, again, it feels very similar to like Hollywood, at least at this time. I don't know how much that's an influence to him, but he is kind of working that way.

His attitude is that like drawing in more authors exclusively means like more journals that he owns and thus more sales. In 1959, Pergamon had 40 journals. By the mid 60s, it would publish more than 150, which is like almost like 10 times as many as El Selvier, which is again the most evil of these companies today. But at this point is just barely keeping up as like a competitor to Pergamon.

Maxwell ist nicht ein besonders patriotischer Geschäftsmann. Er sieht keine nationalen Grenzen. Er hat wirklich gute Verbindungen mit der USSR. Es ist immer seltsam, und das ist Teil dessen, warum Leute über seine Spionage-Kredenzen wundern. Wann er Moskau besucht, setzt die sowjetische Regierung ihn in eine Mansion. Sie lieben ihn wirklich. I think, I mean, he definitely is doing some spying.

And I'm sure they're also putting him up in the mansion because it's like wired and they want to spy on him. But he has really good connections too. He speaks really good Russian. He knows a lot of prominent people in the Soviet Union. And the evidence for that is that when like the USSR launches Sputnik,

He negotiates within days an English language deal with the Russian Academy of Sciences to become the exclusive English language publisher of like Russian science. Whoa.

All of like these. Yeah. So he is connected. He sounds like a blast to spend a weekend with. He sounds like a shitload of fun. Yeah. Right? And there's so many quotes about this guy. Like all of the scientists who work with him are like, he was a piece of shit. A lot of fun though. Yeah, he was an asshole. Through great parties. Yeah, like I really enjoyed spending time with this guy who sucked.

Yeah. Now, obviously, Maxwell does not make this, as I said, as evil as it becomes. But the downsides of what he starts are very obvious today. The modern field of scientific literature is crazy. krippelig teuer für Institutionen wie Bibliotheken und Universitäten, die dergleichen ihre Kosten an die Studenten übergeben.
