I beg to disagree. The times are different.

When Japan was paving the way to economic heights, they competed with the quality goods made elsewhere. That quality comes with the price tag, and it seems that most of us are not ready to pay for it these days. We've gotten rich enough to buy cheap things.

The "dollar shop" mentality is our fault, IMHO.
