- It is still true. Japanese companies endow chairs and fund research
- projects at many U.S. universities -- so they are able to directly
- benefit from American research. And they are doing this in a *big*
- way. They do a better job trasfering development to production, but
- the gap is closing.
- You are quite right about our advantage in retail distribution.
- It is best spelled out in a book called "Unlimited Wealth",
- subtitle: "The Theory and Practice of Economic Alchemy" by
- Paul Pilzer. Interesting stuff.
