What's Behind the Market's Instability? [View article]
P.S. I want comment also regarding your comment about Ford's handling of the gas tank problems. Do you know for sure that Ford management made it's decisions based on the callous pecuniary considerations that you site? They handled this situation very poorly but I think it was a cheap shot to reduce their action to those you describe. Traveling in cars is dangerous and there are many risk factors that cause loss of life due to specifics of their construction. You can site the hype used in trial lawyer lititagtion to make Ford appear to be singularly responsible for a high percentage of the highway accidental deaths but I don't think that it's necessarily the case. One is reminded of the false picture given to the public by the book "Unsafe at Any Speed" which was later proven to be an unfair and inaccurate presentation but was very effective at forming the public's oppinion.
