It sounds like you found everything you're going to find without paying for a professor. What you're looking for is where the money comes in. The professor is the one that teaches you the things you're supposed to learn, not the books. Yeah, you can read the books yourself, and you'll get something out of it, but you won't learn everything you would from a professional, and you have a strong chance to learn things wrong without guidance.
Yes, education should be available to all, but this isn't the answer. Definitely pirate (school) books, though.
You left out the part where they steal all that shit, which is why we kicked their asses.
