Henry Ford: Industry Icon (The good, the bad, and the ugly)
Henry Ford built automobiles. But he is also responsible for building the entire auto industry into a functional production mechanism. With exceptional drive and perseverance to make up for his limited education, Ford modernized the industry’s mass-production concepts with the moving assembly line. His Model T reshaped the world with a focus on the needs and the wallets of the common man. He made the improbable sequence of transitions from a farming background to a machinist-inventor, to an automobile manufacturer, to a capitalist industrialist icon, to an American icon folk hero.
