John Willis, Josh Bloomberg: Deming's Journey to Profound Knowledge (AudiobookFormat, 2023, IT Revolution) 3 stars

So far it’s a nice bit of myth making that glosses over the wider environment that lead to these organisations success

For example Toyota was only bombed once in WW2, and largely was left operational, restarting production the next day, and the United States didn’t really get damaged in WW2 and was able to profit massively from the recovery in Europe. This left them in a prime position to take advantage of this market advantage.
