  • In this informative and engaging video, we delve into the life and legacy of Henry Ford, one of the most influential figures in American history. Ford was an inventor, entrepreneur, and industrialist who revolutionized the way we live and work today.Born in 1863 in a rural area of Michigan, Ford grew up on a farm and showed an early interest in machines and mechanics. After a series of jobs in various industries, he founded the Ford Motor Company in 1903 and quickly became one of the wealthiest men in the world.
    Ford's most famous achievement was the development of the assembly line, which allowed for mass production of automobiles at a much lower cost. This innovation made cars affordable for the average person and helped to create a new era of mobility and freedom.
    But Ford's impact extended far beyond the automotive industry. He was a social and political activist who believed in the power of business to improve society. He implemented the famous $5 workday, which doubled the pay of his factory workers and helped to create a middle class in America.
    However, Ford's legacy is not without controversy. He was known for his anti-Semitic beliefs and his cooperation with the Nazi regime during World War II. These darker aspects of his character have been the subject of much debate and scrutiny over the years.

    There was a Henry Ford anecdote in one of my economics text books. His son Edsel asked him for money- so Henry Ford gave him a nickel but Edsel was so disgusted with this paltry gift from his wealthy father, that he hurled it into the bushes. Henry Ford forced him to find the coin at length and when he did, he lectured him on the qualities of the copper-nickel alloy used for the coin and the industrial process to mint it- explaining that it might be a mere five pennies in value but it represented a vast amount of manufacturing processes and know how.

    If everyone could discuss sensitive topics with the objectivity and honesty that Mark does, the world would be a much better place. Ford was a genius, and he had abhorrent beliefs. One does not negate the other. People are still complicated that way. We have to believe that the greater good will prevail. Fascinating show! Thank you! 🤍

I haven’t tested the top speed because around 25-30 mph it feels like you’re about to take flight and normal people wanna hop out. Its very discombobulating to drive, feels like you’ve been in a washing machine.

    The Model N has right hand drive and due to his new production line process for the Model T, Ford made that car left hand drive and as it sold in the millions, led to the standardisation of left hand drive in the USA- although other makers like Pierce-Arrow continued with right hand drive which can be seen with Fatty Arbuckle's fancy-mobile.

Ford and GM lied to congress that it was to costly to convert auto assembly lines over to make war materials to help Europe. Ford waited until June of 1943 to meet in Portugal with the Germans to say maybe it was time to take Ford’s name off the German factories. Funny how after Pearl Harbor they retooled for war service. Henry Ford sued the US government for bombing his plants in Germany. He won.

The sudden canned groupthink on a sensitive topic was a bit jarring. When criticism=hate, rational disagreement is impossible and the tiny % of critics who are hateful, will grow and justify the blanket assertion. A dangerous equation. Waters is not hateful, hes a vocal critic. Disagree with him of course, but smearing him as an AS is bogus and antithetical to discourse and accountability.

    You folks might want to look at Federick Taylor and "Scientific Management". This guy created an efficiency in business movement which eventually became called "Taylorism". He employed Time and Motion studies and sought to shave seconds off of various operations in terms of the actions of workers. Laywer Louis Brendeis coined the term "Scientific Management" to describe the phenomenon. This would have been very popular around 1900 or into 1910. This could help explain how Ford viewed factory processes.

Ford has also subsequently had a non-Ford Jewish CEO. Henry Ford II, Hank the Deuce, as Ford CEO was very pro-Israel. The original Ford had Jewish friends. Ironically, the original architect for Ford, Albert Kahn, the famous Detroit architect, was Jewish, and designed all of Ford's plants and buildings.

    Vanadium isn't a steel. It's an alloy, and it doesn't make steel lighter. It makes it stronger than plain carbon steel.

    Actually it was Ransom E. Olds who made the first mass production automobile the 1901 Curved Dash Olds, with 420 produced. The next year, over two thousand were made. Olds, like Ford belied in the working man's car, and was kicked out of his company as the Smith's who held most of the company wanted to build expensive cars. Olds then started REO in 1905. Henry Ford's first car was the 1903, which became the Cadillac when Ford left his first company. Ironically, R. E. Olds was another one of Ford's coterie camper group with Harvey Firestone and Thomas Edison.

    Excellent episode! I knew a little bit about Ford, but this really put it in perspective. Have you seen what Discovery+ just put out on Abe Lincoln? It's crazy and proves why we need ppl like you two to tell the good and bad without the embellishments. If they do it to Lincoln, I'm sure they will do it to lesser known ppl and we would be none the wiser cause we wouldn't know enough about it to know it was a revisionist history.
