I would not be surprised to learn that this has well funded conservative bad-think tanks, like the Heritage Foundation, creating or funding who creates these fake scholarly works. The reasoning being to destroy the reputation and power of academics that have the communication skills to explain why their policies are not only shortsighted, but amoral and evil. I sense this because if there is one glaring characteristic of the conservative mindset, it is shortsightedness.by bsenftner

It's not always "market forces". Case in point: state sponsored hackers and trolls. What speaks against market forces here is that "the collapse of Near Eastern civilizations in 1177 BCE" is not really a profitable subject.by tgv
