Henry Ford transformed the world. He, as much as any other inventor, industrialist or innovator, improved the world for millions of average people. A better life was attainable because of Ford's genius. That FACT is not recognized often enough.
When I was a kid, my sister bought a book for my father's 50th B-Day (1970) about the Model T. My grandfather had a T pickup on their farm. The book detailed a variety of work and farm implements that could be driven off a T engine, many of which they employed on the farm.
Countless lives were improved by Ford's creations, and millions of average people were able to improve their lot thanks to his brilliance.
