Philadelphia Stock Exchange ( PHLX ), now known as NASDAQ OMX PHLX, is the oldest stock exchange in the United States, founded in 1790.

In December 1968, in response to a fiscal crisis, Philadelphia imposed a $ 0. 05 per share stock transfer tax for all transactions on the PHLX.

On January 2, 1969, the PHLX moved its trading floor to an office building, then known as the Decker Building, just across a street from the city boundaries in Bala Cynwyd to avoid the tax.

In February, a court ruled that the tax was illegal, and the PHLX moved its trading floor back to its headquarters in the city.

Since the great flood of these dystopias has appeared only in the last twelve years, it seems fairly reasonable to assume that the chief impetus was the 1949 publication of Nineteen Eighty-Four, an assumption which is supported by the frequent echoes of such details as Room 101, along with education by conditioning from Brave New World, a book to which science-fiction writers may well have returned with new interest after reading the more powerful Orwell dystopia.
