Ric says:
It's precisely the laissez-faire attitude to his (and others)
professorial greed which exacerbates the plight of poets without jobs or
ss - who have indeed a right to be paid fairly, as you say.
I am sympathetic and might move to become similarly disgruntled for a
while, but I just can't believe that hirers' attitudes are really
'laissez-faire' (they'd imagine themselves supportive, selective), or that
the plight of the poet is really exacerbated by the usual wage
distribution nonsense. We're what we tentatively are wholly due to this
imblance and its analogues. Yes of course it's irritating.
IF "Money" POET n(1) -> POET n(2), a differently arguable dependency etc
