Writing on the Basil and Spice blog, David M. Kinchen reviews “The Selling of the American Economy: How Foreign Companies Are Remaking the American Dream,” a book by Ann Arbor resident and New York Times senior business correspondent Micheline Maynard: “Maynard’s book came out late in October, well before the latest revelations of problems with many models of Toyotas, and – to be fair to her, much of the book deals with three other foreign companies in the U.S. … Also to be fair to her, she discusses the quality control problems of Toyota that antedated the latest ones. Still, Maynard, who calls her book the continuation of a previous book on the American auto industry, “The End of Detroit,” comes across all too often as a cheerleader for Toyota.
