----------------------------Original message----------------------------
In response to Prof. Drago's argument that fear works economically,
one counter point is that Japanese firms that utilized lifetime
employment, hence eliminated a large component of fear, out-competed
US firms for more than 20 years.  To this day, despite economic
problems, most of the Japanese products in those companies still have
a quality edge.  In addition, firms that have utilized high trust
cultures have performed well in this country.  GM traditionally used a
high fear culture, on the other hand.
