Connellan, president of The Management Group, Inc.\nSpeaking to business executives in Chicago and quoted in Automotive News,\nConnellan attributed a measure of America's falling productivity to an excess\nof attorneys and accountants, and a dearth of production experts.  Lawyers\nand accountants \"do not make the economic pie any bigger; they only figure\nout how the pie gets divided.  Neither profession provides any added value\nto product.\"\n\tAccording to Connellan, the highly productive Japanese society has\n10 lawyers and 30 accountants per 100,000 population.  The U.S. has 200\nlawyers and 700 accountants.  This suggests that \"the U.S. proportion of\npie-bakers and pie-dividers is way out of whack.\"  Could Dick Butcher have\nbeen an efficiency expert?\n\t\t-- Motor Trend, May 1983","distinct":true,"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/sean-smith/interview_prep/commits/f51f9285ef3e7cfa51a6d8a131a6927a18b48dcc"}]}
