A close look at Henry Ford, a man who started out to make a better world by creating mobility for the working person, paying higher wages, and, by his standards, at least, working for a better world. But as his wealth grew, he became more and more separated from his workers and the better world he had hoped to build. As his fortune grew, he became a selfish, self-centered and bitter man who surrounded himself with an army of thugs to keep his workers in line, while he hobnobbed with the rich and famous. The Irony was that he still believed he was close to working people and a great boss. He wasn't, he was anti-union, anti-socialist, and antisemite. A pacifist who stood for the Nazis, but without an understanding of their democracy destroying ideals and methods. He put the less than wealthy on wheels, but caught up in his legend, he became aloof and unwilling to listen to anyone's advice. Positive that the model T was perfect, he almost destroyed all he had accomplished, as the world began to pass him by. Yes, he moved on just in time, pushed by people in his inner circle. Henry never regained his early ideals and remained a stubborn, self-centered, and aloof man, cut of from all that had made him an American hero. ( )
