As much as I respect Deming, I've always thought that his claim to a new 
"economics" was a pretentious.  To claim a new "economics", without touching 
at all on the Land question -- see Henry George's Progress and Poverty 
(1879), is folly.  Even if management were so reformed and fine-tuned (which 
I hope they eventually will become) by using the best of Deming's and Juran's 
(any one else's) incites, the problem of why there is poverty amidst progress 
would still be there and unsolved!
