no, the japanese would have figured out how to do it.  Lee Iaccocca,
the manager in charge of that great car the pinto, would have lobbied 
in congress for protection from competition.  Then after you can't

himself a big fat pay raise and write a book, never mentioning that 
the secret was lobbying in congress against competition.
