<<I disagree with you Mark Japan produced goods more efficiently than we did. We consumed them, in some cases they were better than ours and made us think twice..>> Japan is not all "purity and good" in these actions, much of their technology was directly stolen!! Texas Instruments (and many others) have won great judgments against some Japanese firms. Their protectionist policies are the stuff of legend. Their import tarriffs are not even applied with any day-to-day consistency and the same can be said of their "safety restrictions". One can not honestly view the near total lack of American goods(including even things as basic as rice or apples) in their economy as strictly related to quality. Why is it that after 25 years of work to raise, graft, and otherwise adapt Washington state apples are we able to sell less than 1/100% of the apples in the Japanese market? Why do even Harley Davidson's sit in their customs(when the demand is great) passing first one standard, then failing a new revised standard the very next day - 30 days 30 import staandards? Why does rice sell for 4X the price of the same grade and breed of rice in the US?
