Henry Ford - My Life And Work

Henry Ford spent most of his life making headlines, good, bad, but never
indifferent. Celebrated as both a technological genius and a folk hero,
Ford was the creative force behind an industry of unprecedented size
and wealth that in only a few decades permanently changed the economic
and social character of the United States.

When young Ford left his father's farm in 1879 for Detroit, only two out of
eight Americans lived in cities; when he died at age 83, the proportion was
five out of eight. Once Ford realized the tremendous part he and his Model
T automobile had played in bringing about this change, he wanted nothing
more than to reverse it, or at least to recapture the rural values of his
boyhood. Henry Ford, then, is an apt symbol of the transition from an
agricultural to an industrial America.



"It was amazing to read that many of the ideas and ideals around the turn
of the twentieth century are still used today. Ford goes into great
detail describing the origination of the Ford motor company, the labor
force, the assembly line, and financial situations of the company. At a
time when most of the male workers across the country were working for
fifty cents a day, Ford incorporated a minimum wage of from three to
five dollars a day. Henry Ford did a good job writing this book as
well. There were several examples of sage advice include which are
quoted by speakers and writers to this day. He was truly a visionary,
business minded genius. The world was certainly improved by his
presence."

"First I want to tell you what this book is not. It is not a biography.
It really isn't a biography of the Ford motor company either. What it is
is the mind of Ford on paper. Henry Ford was a pure genius! This book
is about how Henry ran his company and about his thoughts and ideals on
business. You will really get to know the man behind the company in this
book. A few of the chapter titles are "What I Learned about Business",
"The Secret of Manufacturing and Serving", "Wages", "Why Not Always
have Good Business" and "Money - Master or Servant". This is one of the
top business books ever written. I think it was written very well and it
just grabs your attention from the begining. If you are looking for a
great business book or just a great book about the real Henry Ford then
you need not look any further. He certainly was one of the best business
men to ever live."
