- <p> Last week's $6.1 billion purchase of MCA by Matsushita
- Electric was the largest Japanese acquisition of a U.S. firm
- so far. But Japan still lags far behind Britain as the biggest
- foreign investor in the U.S. economy. As of June, the value of
- foreign-owned businesses and real estate in the U.S. totaled
- just $411.3 billion; congressional researchers estimate that
- non-Americans own about 5% of all U.S. assets.
