People forget that the model for International trade today and for corporate raiding was Genghis Khan and his grandchildren. In that model, war was considered a mere strategy. Unfortunately today's men don't seem anymore humane. Most of the ideals of modern capitalism were the products of the Khan's empire and that empire disappeared in a generation with the plague. Could we disappear as a result of weather change? Profits don't make sustainability, culture does. In the late 1990s it was the Japanese who retooled Sony pictures for the present success when they fired the American president Michael Schulhof. According to google, the complaints about the movie division sounds like today, except today we have a Wall Street Raider from Schulhof's tribe making the complaint. It's interesting that Sony returned to the Schulhof Ideals for the movie division to achieve their current success. It's said the Japanese have cultural ideals very different from our own Wall Street. Maybe not. It was the 1980s when Edward T. Hall analyzed the way Japanese view time and how they have adapted their cultural ideals to the present. That now seems to be a part of both China and South Korea. In modern Japan its seems the question today is whether they have found the answer to a slower economy or whether they are joining Loeb, Pickens, Icahn and their cronies. Poor handling of the nuclear issue seems to have wrecked everything and made Sony vulnerable to an ever predatory Wall Street imitating the Japanese from the 1995 Schulhof takeover. In both cases, they spoke not of growth and quality but of how to turn the major producer of a superior product into a mediocrity that belches money to investors. Are these the same people who are robbing America blind and denying climate change? They had better watch out, today's NYTimes review of a petite Chinese pianist could portent a problem for those folks who would rather raid the pantry before the food's cooked properly. They speak of the Chinese but the Chinese product seems to have stolen their culture from them and they didn't even notice. And it's not just the men. Yesterday Horowitz and Rubenstein, today Wuja Wang five tall soaking wet in a tight Chinese red dress with spike high heels and playing in Carnegie Hall with more strength, agility and intelligence than most men. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/18/arts/music/yuja-wang-at-carnegie-hall.html ?ref=music Today it's the women. This week the first woman ever will be inducted as President of the conservative Cantor's Assembly. Two years ago she was the first female Director of the Cantorial School at the Jewish Theological Seminary. Not only that, but the women talk to each other across international boundaries. Maybe a woman needs to take over Wall Street.
