HTML: One world's richest and best-known people in his day, Henry Ford was the founder of Ford Motor Company and a pioneering innovator of mass production. Ford's autobiography, My Life and Work, gives personal insight into the life of this prolific inventor and titan of industry. For the time, Ford awarded high wages to his workers despite his driving commitment towards reducing costs, which he did instead through the channels of business and technological innovation. Ford's vision held consumerism as a cornerstone of global peace and prosperity. In spite of not believing in accountants, Ford amassed an enormous wealth, most of which he left to the Ford Foundation. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

For example, he seems to be against mixing financing and business, which, sure, can be very problematic—doing so is how we end up with things like Theranos. But he seems to ignore the fact that not all people are in a position to be able to just start their own business and make enough money to keep it running immediately. He also implicitly is against work/life balance. According to him you can do that, but you’ll never amount to much. But then his whole business is built around the type of labor where people do the same thing every day for their whole career (though he does allow people to move around jobs). He’s pro opportunities for everyone, yet has a whole anti-Semitic section, in which he makes claims that are apparently true just because he believes them to be true (which is a move he makes throughout the book, but usually less egregiously).
