And while everyone applauds our government's domestic efforts at "trust-busting" and "free trade", our government continues to permit free access to our market
for two of the largest cartels in the world: Mid-east Oil and Far East Memory.
Do you really think this is free trade? Do you really think that MITI
provides tax and policy incentives for it's domestic memory producers (Hitachi,
Sanyo, NEC) to compete with each other in the domestic (Japaese) market? No,
it does not. MITI protects cartels in targeted industries as a matter of
survival in an economic war.
The reason that Japan is so obviously successful in this war and the United States is not is that the government of Japan has adopted tactics appropriate to the world market of the 90's, while the United States is still saddled with policy dating back to the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.
