Holy crap this is depressing. I'm happy that the state of the art in economics, currently, is to post working papers and preprints online.

This has the side effects of papers being cited before being published, and turning out to be bad, but is certainly a huge net positive overall.

It's rare to not be able to find a free pdf preprint of an economics paper written in the last 6-7 years, which is great.
