Description:
Before Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, and Lee Iacocca, there was an innovator unlike any other: Henry Ford.
"Take just one idea - a little idea in itself - an idea that anyone might have had, but which fell to me to develop that of making a small, strong, simple automobile, to make it cheaply, and pay high wages in its making. On October 1, 1908, we made the first of our present type of small cars. On June 4, 1924, we made the ten millionth."

Before Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, and Lee Iacocca, there was an innovator unlike any other: Henry Ford.
"Take just one idea - a little idea in itself - an idea that anyone might have had, but which fell to me to develop that of making a small, strong, simple automobile, to make it cheaply, and pay high wages in its making. On October 1, 1908, we made the first of our present type of small cars. On June 4, 1924, we made the ten millionth."
Included here is the two-volume autobiography of Henry Ford - including both "My Life and Work" and the follow-up "Today & Tomorrow". In this newly revised and beautifully digitized version, Ford outlines both the history and creation of the Ford Motor Company, challenges he faced, as well as his plans for the company heading into the future - and delves into his philosophy on sustainability, paying a living wage, and how he cut the price of the modern automobile - and many of its components - in half to make a high quality product affordable for every day Americans. This is a must-read to get inside the mind of one of America's greatest entrepreneurs.
