http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/10/nyregion/10hardware.html?pagewanted=3 On the surface, a run-down hardware shop in Flatbush might seem an odd place for a person like George to thrive. But if you set aside the sheets of pegboard and the metal cabinets and the key-making machine, what is left are hundreds and hundreds of small, obscure utilitarian objects, many almost identical to the casual observer. George can identify each nut and bolt and screw on sight, as Mr. Abraham's test was intended to show, and he knows where, exactly, in the store it is kept. He can tell you its cost. And he can tell you the name - and often the phone number - of the company that made it. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
