Probably in 1984 penned by a fellow named Orwell.

You did but in 1983 the players were different; we were going to be owned lock, stock and barrel by Japan, Inc.

Funny how that didn't work out especially since it was being touted by not only some (not all, certainly!) conservatives but also big goobermint types (in those days dims) who were using it to push government-private industry cooperation.
