Ask which public library you should donate a copy to
The book: “Freakonomics at no cost. Is it possible?” sounds interesting; what does it cost?
Send him a copy of The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and see if he figures out the irony.
On one hand, it never hurts to ask. On the other hand, it’s a shame and reflects the “general” line of thinking in a country that has all the natural resources to be the greatest country in the world. If only the majority of people would think more about everyone’s wellbeing than their own benefits, even if it means someone else’s loss.
A simple succinct no should suffice.
Too simple to just send a supply and demand curve?
Ship the knowledge around the world! It is really hard sometimes to access good books in English from abroad. I live in Mexico and speak from personal experience.
I believe this is a wonderful opportunity to test a “pay what you want” strategy.
