In economics, a textbook would be called a highly inelastic good — each new generation of students inevitably needs it and, generally, each student will acquire it (often regardless of cost).

My first day in Morocco, I was uncomfortable. After three days, I was angry. By the end of the week, I was more than ready to try out one of those female-only dystopian societies that science fiction writers find so captivating.
