When I first bought an early version of Dragon, L&H's version had a better reputation for quality. I followed the case as I read about the phony sales to S. Korea. I was under the impression that the sales were "real," except the buyers were a division of L&H. The Bakers got screwed; the product greatly improved and I felt sorry for the actual entrepreneurs, an almost mystical community, often held responsible for capitalism's successes, although, more often than not, they end up with the short end of the stick. Long ago, MR published a piece that claimed that the automobile companies had done no innovations, except the windshield wiper. Someone wrote in saying that he, not the companies, invented it. The letter stuck in my mind although I did not recall any details. Maybe some of you could locate it. Later, a movie was made about the tragedy of the windshield wiper man, whose life was ruined trying to get something from his invention. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 530 898 5321 fax 530 898 5901 http://michaelperelman.wordpress.com ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
