Does anyone else find it crazy that you can walk into a bookshop and be charged £9.99 for a paperback novel that took the author a year to complete, but £17.99 for a completely blank notebook?

Attending a seminar by Francesco D'Acunto (Georgetown) at @idb. In a global survey, Argentina ranks 1st in financial literacy. Wow. An unexpected consequence of crises. (the paper is about using stylized facts on inflationary expectations to improve macro models... but this fact really stood out).

Inspired by Nina Buchman's presentation on Paternalistic Discrimination in labor markets I have been thinking about this in housing programs that restrict recipients from selling their received units. Is there any reason for this other than being a homeowner has benefits they may not internalize?
