The discussion at ASQ, as I remember it, was more concerend with whether Deming, conciously or unconciously, used a Zen Buddhist approach for installing quality in Japan.
 
Fritjof Capra I associate with modern physics ("The Tao of Physics", 1975) and systems thinking ("The Turning Point", 1982).  Being Austrian, perhaps Capra could say something about how Deming's philosophy leads to an ecologically sustainable economy?  Is Capra a member of this group?
