Monopsony - not a typo
Monopsony - not a typo
(OP)
I learned a new word today from the Watts Up with That Web site where they commented on the "Near Government Monopsony on Climate Research"
http: //economic s.about.co m/od/terms beginningw ithm/g/mon opsony.htm
Nice to have a word for this particular state of affairs but I sometimes wonder who on earth goes round looking for the new word than no one knows.... and which everyone then has to look up.
Monopoly would surely have done... does it matter that it is demand lead rather than supplier lead?
Technically, it is the correct word. Functionally does the use of this sort of word help or hinder the overall comprehension by the general public?
Is the difference material in this context
(http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/07/23/) especially as the article itself makes clear what is happening and why it might be bad for us?
Sophistry will be the death of us all.![[wink] wink](https://www.tipmaster.com/images/wink.gif)
