But really, this is extortionate, and it's in no-one else's interests, because the chances of someone paying $34 for an old article on such an obscure issue are slim to vanishing, so the only consequence of the high price is that no one gets to see it.
I was under the impression that universities and such organisation have institutional subscriptions where their members can access the articles, but not at a per-article rate but some other negotiated rate, or flat rate. I'm sure there are details on the JSTOR website. So people probably are reading the article in question, but not at the per-article rate.
