DFA Meeting cancelled - Tatnuck Bookseller Closes Doors
Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2006 07:31:21 -0500 (EST)


Your Organizer, Steve Consilvio, sent the following message to
the members of The Worcester Democracy for America Meetup Group:

Tonight's DFA meeting has been cancelled due to the closure of
the Tatnuck Bookseller.

One of the things I wanted to discuss tonight was the game
Monopoly, which is based on the economic theories of George
Henry. According to Henry, a system of "rents" eventually
results in bankruptcy. Tatnuck is a perfect example of how the
currency shifting plays out so that one person eventually ends
up with all the money. (Amazon, Borders, Barnes & Nobles
survived, but one of them will eventually fail, too.)

I have some disagreements with his theory, but Monopoly shows
that even in a "pure" system capitalism implodes. You end up
with a bunch of empty houses and hotels that nobody can afford
to live in.

You can read a brief biography of Henry George here:

If anyone has a suggestion for a new venue, please let me know.

Thanks, and Happy New Year to everyone.

Peace,
Steve Consilvio

1. here's a little info

Tatnuck's website (http://www.tatnuck.com/NASApp/store/IndexJsp) indicate that their Westborough store will remain open ... for those who know the area, the store is located on Lyman Street (perpendicular to Route 9) in Westborough ... i have no idea why they closed their Worcester store ...

also, just FYI, Border's also closed their Framingham store (next to Shopper's World and next to Barnes & Noble) ... there are rumors about a possible reopening at a new location but that is unconfirmed at this time ...

finally, check out the "Acoustic Cafe" hosted at Tatnuck's ... here's some info on the next event:
