About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
By reading this summary, you will learn what are the main features of the life of Henry Ford (1863-1947), one of the main inventors of modernity.
You will also learn that :
- Henry Ford was the son of farmers in the Midwestern state of Michigan;
- Lenin was an admirer of Henry Ford;
- Henry Ford was anti-Semitic;
- He was also anti-Catholic;
- Ford paid high wages to his workers;
- Ford was one of the first promoters of camping.
Henry Ford is a myth and a myth that is hard to get around. If Steven Watts' biography does not claim to be exhaustive, it nevertheless highlights the founding contradictions of this mythical man. At once an anti-Semite and a champion of the cause of Blacks in racially segregated America, a loving husband but with a son from another woman, a boss who was generous with his workers but opposed to unionism... One would never cease to underline the complexity of Henry Ford. A complexity admirably served by this work, which for the first time uses for the first time some archival documents that had never before been exploited.
