Writer Ursula K. Le Guin's 2014 acceptance speech at the National Book Awards calls for freedom in publishing. "Right now, we need writers who know the difference between production of a market commodity and the practice of an art," she urges. Le Guin criticises publishers for putting profit before the aims of art and calls for radical change instead. "We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings."
